The self-score, opened up (§XVII)
How the 88 is built
The model scores itself against its own twelve weighted criteria — in public, forever. Each criterion starts on the design prior stated in the rulebook and only moves as real operating evidence accrues. Criteria with no evidence yet stay honestly on the prior.

Per criterion
| Criterion | Prior | Live | Evidence | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legitimacy & consent | 9.0 | 9.0 | paper prior | 0% | design prior (no operating evidence yet, §XVII.3) |
| Outcome quality | 8.0 | 8.0 | paper prior | 0% | design prior (no operating evidence yet, §XVII.3) |
| Rights protection | 9.0 | 9.0 | paper prior | 0% | design prior (no operating evidence yet, §XVII.3) |
| Accountability | 9.0 | 9.0 | paper prior | 0% | design prior (no operating evidence yet, §XVII.3) |
| Capture & corruption resistance | 9.0 | 9.0 | paper prior | 0% | design prior (no operating evidence yet, §XVII.3) |
| Transparency & verifiability | 9.0 | 9.0 | paper prior | 0% | design prior (no operating evidence yet, §XVII.3) |
| Representation & proportionality | 9.0 | 9.0 | paper prior | 0% | design prior (no operating evidence yet, §XVII.3) |
| Resilience | 9.0 | 9.0 | paper prior | 0% | design prior (no operating evidence yet, §XVII.3) |
| Adaptability & self-correction | 9.0 | 9.0 | paper prior | 0% | design prior (no operating evidence yet, §XVII.3) |
| Intergenerational fairness | 9.0 | 9.0 | paper prior | 0% | design prior (no operating evidence yet, §XVII.3) |
| Simplicity & usability | 7.0 | 7.0 | paper prior | 0% | design prior (no operating evidence yet, §XVII.3) |
| Inclusiveness | 9.0 | 9.0 | paper prior | 0% | design prior (no operating evidence yet, §XVII.3) |
An honest 88 is the point: the model’s own §0.6.5 forbids declaring a paper 10/10. Outcome quality (Criterion 2) stays a hypothesis until real decisions are measured against their predictions.
