PALLAS transparency

How PALLAS builds evidence-readiness judgments

Article-style explanation

What is decided, what is recorded, and what remains human-review work?

PALLAS does not decide whether a jurisdiction satisfies a legal-status outcome. It records public evidence signals and makes the construction process inspectable: which indicators were used, which sources were found, which claims were weak, and which score movements remain candidate deltas.

Decision workflow

The system separates collection, scoring, review, and publication so that readers can see where evidence ends and interpretation begins.

1

Indicator frame fixed

Ten public evidence-readiness indicators define what the atlas is allowed to compare.

2

Public sources collected

Country lanes gather official and contextual public records without private access or adversarial probing.

3

Frozen matrix built

A v0 country matrix stores scores, confidence, source counts, warnings, and summaries.

4

Second pass hardens sources

Additional source review produces refreshed sources, candidate score deltas, and confidence movements.

5

Weak claims routed to review

Potentially fragile claims become human-review rows rather than final public assertions.

6

EATF © snapshot attested

Artifacts are hashed into a Merkle tree and signed at the batch level to support provenance checks.

What the scores mean

Scores are navigation signals for public evidence infrastructure, not country rankings or legal findings.

0

No public evidence found in the checked sources, or evidence is too weak to support the indicator.

1

Adjacent or emerging infrastructure exists, but AI-specific or national evidence is limited.

2

Meaningful public evidence exists, often with partial implementation or sectoral limits.

3

Strong visible infrastructure exists for the indicator, with clearer institutional or technical evidence.

What is signed

EATF © signs the checkpoint tree head, not every sentence as a separate legal claim. The package records the tree root, file list, file hashes, EATF © response, and verification boundary.

Signed batches Loading

Batch checkpoints signed before this page was packaged.

Total batches Loading

Signed and unsigned checkpoint documents found in the runtime trail.

Current package root Loading

Merkle root for the current public package snapshot.

Claim boundary Provenance only

Attestation does not prove correctness, reproducibility, or legal status.

Reader rights and practical checks

Use the transparency layer to understand the map before citing or reusing it.

Inspect sources

Open country cards and source packs before relying on a score in prose.

Track warnings

Warnings show where a public claim has limits or needs specialist review.

Separate deltas

Candidate deltas are proposed second-pass movements, not revised final scores.

Verify artifacts

Use the EATF © package manifest and file index to check snapshot integrity.
