Evidence before status
A programme or public-record conclusion must follow a defined evidence scope, not precede it.
RMCA GOVERNANCE
Governance before scale.
Public confidence depends on disciplined preparation, independent decisions, controlled publication and visible correction—not volume or promotional status.
GOVERNANCE FLOW
A decision retains its reasons.
Proposal, evidence, challenge and publication remain visible stages rather than one opaque outcome.

RMCA scales only after evidence quality, renewal, correction, conflict, security and governance controls have been demonstrated.
Independent decision-making
Programme decisions must be made under RMCA governance and not controlled by a contributor, preparer or commercial interest.
Preparation and review separation
Where proportionate, the person preparing an evidence file should not independently verify the same scope.
Field-level publication
Identity, permission, protection, safeguarding and conduct evidence retain separate character and limitations.
Methodology versioning
Applicable terms, fields and decision rules carry an identifiable version and change history.
Corrections and historic integrity
Corrections are visible, reasoned and linked to the historic state rather than silently overwriting it.
Confidential/public separation
Public records disclose necessary scope and sources without exposing protected personal, security or commercially confidential information.
Conflicts and recusal
Relevant interests are declared, assessed and managed; recusal is required where independence cannot otherwise be maintained.
No sponsored ranking
Research, publication and programme decisions cannot be purchased or shaped through sponsorship.
Scale gates
Volume increases only when renewal, correction, conflict, security and quality controls have been demonstrated.
