Five gates
| Gate | Criterion | Score | Evidence of Record |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gate 1 | A1 — Human Brain as Primary Agent | 3 | The 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 2 | B1 — AI Framed as Helper, Not Master | 3 | No 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 3 | B3 — Hallucination & Error Risk Addressed | 3 | Structural 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 4 | D3 — Cultural Representation & Dignity | 3 | The 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 5 | E3 — Child & Family-Safe Content | 3 | Every section is suitable for classroom, library, and family settings; the education category and Appendix B set explicit protections for minors. |
