Methodology · transparency

Surface, never conclude

The transparency score is a reading of what's been disclosed. It is not a rating, not a judgement, and not a ranking. Six inputs, totalled out of 100, with every value backed by a real provenance pill.

Frieren is the launch reference disclosure. The same six-input rubric is applied to every series the substrate indexes, with the per-input value and provenance pill surfaced on each series page. We never roll the inputs into a single colour-coded badge — the breakdown is the disclosure.

What the pills meanthree states

Provenance
  • knownConfirmed against a primary source. Counts for full points.
  • inferredPieced together from public evidence. Counts for half.
  • unknownWe don’t know, and we’re saying so. A first-class state — never a guess.

A reading of what's been disclosed. Not a rating, not a ranking. Where the record is silent, we say so.
