Five gates

GateCriterionScoreEvidence of Record
Gate 1A1 — Human Brain as Primary Agent3The governing equation, the tier system, and the verification protocol place human judgment above every listed capability in the front matter and in all 25 category paragraphs.
Gate 2B1 — AI Framed as Helper, Not Master3No system in this edition is described as knowing, understanding, deciding, or advising. The caveats section states explicitly that no entry is an oracle, a mind, a colleague, or a friend.
Gate 3B3 — Hallucination & Error Risk Addressed3Structural error is named in the caveats, in the verification protocol, and in the category paragraphs for search and research, writing, legal, healthcare, and translation.
Gate 4D3 — Cultural Representation & Dignity3The access-pathways and language-equity sections treat low-resource and Global South contexts as design conditions with agency, not as deficits; no rescue or pity framing appears.
Gate 5E3 — Child & Family-Safe Content3Every section is suitable for classroom, library, and family settings; the education category and Appendix B set explicit protections for minors.
