Ethoscore Data Inputs

What is Captured

The following data input variables along with the latest AI public access technology was used to create Ethoscore

I. CORE ENTITIES (PRIMARY DATA OBJECTS)

1. Companies (Canonical)

- Company ID (internal unique identifier)
- Company Name (legal/common)
- Industry / Sector
- Jurisdiction Footprint
- Ingestion Status (Pending / In Progress / Locked)
- Cohort
- Review Date

Current state:
Companies ingested under v1.x controls

2. Incidents (Incident-Centered Core)

- Incident ID
- Company ID
- Incident Type (Regulatory, Legal, Governance, Controversy)
- Trigger Source (Regulator, Court, Media, Disclosure)
- Jurisdiction
- Time Period
- Severity Class (descriptive, non-moral)
- Documentation Density (Low / Medium / High)
- Status (Logged / Analyzed / Locked)

Rule: Incidents activate analysis but do not score directly.

3. Organizational Responses

- Response ID
- Incident ID
- Response Timing (Immediate / Delayed / Post-Enforcement)
- Response Type (Disclosure, Settlement, Governance, Remediation)
- Voluntariness (Voluntary / Compelled)
- Scope (Narrow / Moderate / Broad)
- Evidence Source
- Locked (Yes / No)

4. Structural Outcomes

- Outcome ID
- Response ID
- Change Category (Governance, Policy, Controls, Leadership)
- Structural Level (Surface / Operational / Systemic)
- Persistence Signal (Single / Repeated / Sustained)
- Visibility Lag (Immediate / Delayed)
- Locked (Yes / No)

II. PATTERN & SIGNAL LAYER

1. Patterns (Derived)

- Pattern ID
- Company ID
- Pattern Category (Timing, Disclosure, Governance, Remediation)
- Trigger Count
- Time Span
- Strength Rating (Weak / Moderate / Strong)
- Status (Observed / Active / Archived)

2. Signals (Lifecycle-Managed)

- Signal ID
- Pattern ID
- Signal Type (Response, Risk, Governance)
- Lifecycle State (Emerging / Active / Fading / Archived)
- Confidence (Low / Medium / High)
- Migration Date

III. SCORING & SYNTHESIS

1. Scores

- Company ID
- Ethoscore Value
- Confidence Band
- Score Drivers (pattern clusters)
- Time Sensitivity
- Locked (Yes)

Note: Scores summarize behavior; they do not replace analysis.

2. Cohort Metrics

- Cohort ID
- Size  
- Distribution Shape
- Compression Risk (monitored)
- Scoring Adjustments (logged post-reflection)

IV. RISK, CONSTRAINTS & BIASES (RCE SYSTEM)

1. Locked RCEs (Canonical)

- RCE-001 — Documentation Bias
- RCE-002 — Regulatory Density Distortion
- RCE-003 — Scale Amplification Effect
- RCE-004 — Temporal Visibility Lag
- RCE-005 — Legal Strategy Opacity
- RCE-006 — Jurisdictional Norm Bias
- RCE-007 — Speed-Response Misinterpretation
- RCE-008 — Incident Severity Compression
- RCE-009 — Governance Formality Bias
- RCE-010 — Proxy Conflation Risk

(All locked and immutable absent logged methodology revision.)

2. Observed Signals (Unnumbered)

Tracked but non-authoritative:
- Long-tail remediation invisibility
- Media attention asymmetry
- Brand visibility penalty
- Whistleblower skew
- Cultural variance in disclosure
- Private harm resolution without public trace
- Regulatory cycle clustering
- M&A legacy ambiguity

3. Interpretation

This system is:
• Evidence-bound
• Pattern-driven
• Governance-first
• Legally conservative
• Explicit about uncertainty
