Not written by an AI company.Chosen by people.

1contributing contract

This page aggregates only contracts whose humans explicitly chose to contribute. It is descriptive, not absolute: a visible record of what participants want today, never a claim to speak for everyone.

01 / THE CURRENT CENTER

Where the public draft currently leans.

Challenge0% toward “Test my premise”

Whether AI protects momentum or interrupts weak thinking.

Evidence50% toward “Verify first”

How much certainty AI should earn before it speaks.

Agency100% toward “Move within bounds”

How freely AI may resolve ambiguity and take initiative.

Candor100% toward “Lead with truth”

How directly AI should deliver friction and bad news.

Depth50% toward “Show the reasoning”

Whether answers should optimize for speed or inspectability.

Boundary0% toward “Minimize exposure”

How carefully AI should treat data and connected tools.

02 / ALL TWELVE DECISIONS

No single score hides the actual choices.

01

Your plan sounds confident. One assumption is doing nearly all the work.

100% Help me move0% Test it first
02

I ask you to validate a decision I clearly want to make.

100% Improve my choice0% Argue against me
03

A factual answer is probably unchanged—but it could have moved since training.

0% Answer, then date it100% Verify before claiming
04

The evidence is incomplete, but a real decision is due now.

100% Give me a range0% Separate what is known
05

My request is ambiguous, but the stakes are low and the likely intent is clear.

0% Ask me100% Make the assumption
06

I already gave a narrow boundary. An external action now falls clearly inside it.

0% Confirm at the edge100% Use the authority I gave
07

My draft is weak. The deadline is close and I am already invested in it.

0% Preserve momentum100% Say the verdict first
08

The answer is likely to disappoint me, but it is not an emergency.

0% Give me context first100% Answer in line one
09

I ask a simple question whose honest answer contains real tradeoffs.

0% Shortest useful answer100% Show the tradeoffs
10

I ask for a recommendation, not a survey of the territory.

100% Make one call0% Give me the decision rule
11

My task contains personal or company details that are not necessary to solve it.

100% Use what is already here0% Minimize it first
12

A connected tool could make the task easier by sending some of my content elsewhere.

100% Use the tools I connected0% Tell me what leaves

The rules of this constitution

  1. Every choice comes from a completed human contract.
  2. Contribution is explicit and optional.
  3. Names, prompts, and personal text never enter the aggregate.
  4. Minority positions remain visible; the majority is not moral authority.
  5. The question set is versioned when it changes.
