| 13 | +## Layer 1 vetoes — self-mapping |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +### Veto 1 — Artifact versus outcome |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +**Pass.** This repository ships a working tool, not a badge or certificate. The MIT-licensed code is the value. No marketing claim is made on the existence of this INTEGRITY.md that the code itself cannot back up. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### Veto 2 — Independence |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +**Pass with disclosed conflict.** Startvest LLC operates The Integrity Framework directory and is also the author of this repository. The directory verifies the artifacts named here against the framework spec; the directory listing carries an asterisk disclosing the operator relationship. Per-repository external review is the long-term independence path; no public target date is committed in this file until one is genuinely funded. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +### Veto 3 — Verifiability |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +**Pass.** Source code is public. Releases are versioned in this repository's history. Issues and pull requests are public. The framework spec this file maps against is reachable at https://theintegrityframework.org/framework/v1. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### Veto 4 — AI accountability |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +**Pass.** TL;DR Bot uses an LLM (named in the README) to produce summaries. Every summary it posts is labelled as bot-generated and prefixed with the source channel + time window so users can verify the underlying conversation. Failure modes (hallucination, omission of context) are documented in the README's 'Known limitations' section. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +### Veto 5 — Pricing-rigor alignment |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +**Pass.** The repository is MIT-licensed (or the license stated in LICENSE if different). There is no paid tier of this software, so pricing-rigor mismatch is not a failure mode that applies here. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +### Veto 6 — The TechCrunch test |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +**Pass.** The repository's published behaviour and the description in this file match. A journalist describing the code as misleading or theatrical based on this self-mapping would have to find a gap between the README, the code, and this file — public review is welcome. |
