Its one-scenario pilot is bounded, reversible, unusually specific, and paired with decision-changing falsifiers that directly compare the wake with ordinary supersession. Strong consent, provenance, authority, and rollback rules improve strict viability, while continued citation, downstream notice, and participant interpretation provide partner-measurable outcomes."},{"blind_id":"CANDIDATE_B","problem_reality_importance":84,"causal_archetype_fit":78,"distinctiveness_prior_art_resilience":72,"operational_specificity":91,"falsifiability_test_quality":90,"adopter_partner_path":87,"deployability_complexity":78,"authority_safety_reversibility":92,"strict_potential":76,"empirical_partner_potential":87,"scrutiny_priority":81,"biggest_visible_risk":"The vigil may ritualize a problem better addressed by paid staffing, secure feedback workflows, coverage ownership, and contributor service standards.","rationale":"Distributed scanning erosion and contributor extraction are credible and consequential, and the proposal supplies a highly bounded pilot with strong source-protection limits and observable tests. Reciprocal disposition and voluntary stewardship renewal give the archetype some causal role, but much of the observable state is directly remediable through standard platform, staffing, and handoff controls. It is therefore stronger as an empirical-partner opportunity testing whether a relational residual exists than as a strict contrastive intervention."},{"blind_id":"CANDIDATE_C","problem_reality_importance":94,"causal_archetype_fit":84,"distinctiveness_prior_art_resilience":77,"operational_specificity":93,"falsifiability_test_quality":92,"adopter_partner_path":90,"deployability_complexity":70,"authority_safety_reversibility":91,"strict_potential":86,"empirical_partner_potential":93,"scrutiny_priority":90,"biggest_visible_risk":"Symbolic custody return could confuse or overstate legal and technical control over retained, backed-up, or downstream copies.","rationale":"Ongoing permission, provenance, and promised-return failures are highly consequential, and the assembly creates a credible relational mechanism by requiring the institution to account for uses and execute contributor choices. The volunteer pilot is concrete, compensated, partner-ready, and capable of surfacing provenance gaps or coercion while producing real lab-controlled permission changes. Its strict case is weakened because dynamic consent, contracts, member checking, and repository controls may provide the core remedy without collective ceremony, and legal custody constraints complicate clean deployment."},{"blind_id":"CANDIDATE_D","problem_reality_importance":86,"causal_archetype_fit":73,"distinctiveness_prior_art_resilience":67,"operational_specificity":90,"falsifiability_test_quality":89,"adopter_partner_path":89,"deployability_complexity":86,"authority_safety_reversibility":94,"strict_potential":72,"empirical_partner_potential":85,"scrutiny_priority":78,"biggest_visible_risk":"The observance may add performative pressure to what is fundamentally a capital-governance, authority, resource, and decision-register problem.","rationale":"Loss of scenario-linked commitments across budget cycles and turnover is credible, and the proposed three-commitment pilot is exceptionally easy to authorize, reverse, and compare with an ordinary review. However, mandatory owner attestations, trigger alerts, and portfolio-governance rules closely reproduce its operational effects, leaving the symbolic threshold and witnessed re-consent with a comparatively thin causal claim. It remains a useful partner test because the proposal clearly specifies what distinct corrections must appear for continuation."}],"rank_order":["CANDIDATE_A","CANDIDATE_C","CANDIDATE_B","CANDIDATE_D"],"top_choice":"CANDIDATE_A","portfolio_observation":"All four proposals are unusually bounded and falsifiable, but each faces a strong ordinary-governance rival. A and C preserve the clearest relational residuals: ending an artifact's informal authority and returning standing over contributed material. B and D are attractive partner studies, yet their observable failures appear more likely to yield to workflow, staffing, ownership, or portfolio-control improvements without a ritual layer.","confidence":"HIGH"}
