Controls and safeguards
Service access, recognition or funding must never depend on agreeing to a story, image, quote or named publication.
Do not expose sensitive circumstances, precise locations, third parties or culturally restricted information, even when the core contributor consents.
HIGH - consent, re-identification, impact inflation, inaccessible variants and incomplete withdrawal propagation can harm contributors.
What to measure
Stories passing evidence, consent and accessibility gates
Follow-up: Send contributors every live format, check consent and representation after 30 days and retire or update distributed versions when the source record changes.
