Independent Peer Review

The Grand Jury &

The Impartiality & Double-Blind Charter

Strict anti-bias protocol governing all evaluations

01. Automatic Recusal

Jurors must recuse themselves from scoring any candidate affiliated with their present or past enterprise within the preceding 36 months.

02. Double-Blind Review

Technical architecture and metric dossiers are anonymized during initial rounds to guarantee evaluation on empirical merit alone.

03. Weighted Consensus

No single juror holds veto power. Multiple independent scores are mathematically normalized to determine laureates.
