Terms of Use

Effective 2026-07-31. This site is a publication: an open-source-intelligence desk, a self-scoring forecast ledger, and a family of published verification standards with reference implementations. Using it means these terms.

Informational only — no advice

Nothing here is investment, financial, trading, legal, tax, accounting, medical, or any other professional advice, and nothing creates any advisory or fiduciary relationship. Ledger entries that reference securities, commodities, indices, rates, or any market are probabilistic records kept for calibration scoring — they exist so this desk's accuracy can be measured against its own misses, not so anyone acts on them. Do not trade on them. Decisions you make from anything published here are yours alone.

As is, no warranty

Everything on this site — reports, forecasts, standards, code, verifiers — is provided as is and as available, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the publisher is not liable for any damages arising from use of, or reliance on, anything published here. Software is additionally governed by its LICENSE, whose warranty disclaimer controls for the instruments.

Accuracy and corrections

The desk's standing discipline: corrections are printed, never silently substituted. Sealed ledger rows are never edited; errors are resolved as misses or corrected by new entries that cite the old. Intelligence reports grade their sources mechanically and print what the method rejected. If something is wrong, the record will say so on its face — that is the product. Report errors to audit@retroprescientaudit.com.

Third parties, names, and allegations

Reports and forecasts reference real people, companies, and institutions by name because open-source intelligence is about the world. Such references are nominative: trademarks belong to their owners and no affiliation or endorsement is implied. Where an item concerns an allegation, the desk reports the existence and sourcing of the allegation, attributed to the cited reporting — not its truth. Forecast resolution criteria adjudicate what public reporting states by a deadline, not underlying facts.

Intellectual property

© 2026 NebelKrähe. The repository LICENSE governs reuse: the standards are citable and conformable but not forkable under their names; the instruments are free to run. Marks are listed on the marks page.

Housekeeping

External links are provided for sourcing; their content is theirs. These terms may be revised; revisions are dated and the old text remains in the repository history — the same rule as everything else here. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stand. Contact: audit@retroprescientaudit.com.
