Public review path
Try to break the logic before anyone trusts it too much.
DBaD is a public draft governance system. We want people to test whether its logic holds up under adversarial reasoning.
Challenge the logic, the trace model, the validation assumptions, the examples, the trust inheritance model, and the boundary conditions.
- Logic review only
- No infrastructure testing
- Public draft baseline

Boundary first
What We Want vs What NOT to Do
The invitation is intentionally narrow: adversarial reasoning about the system, not exploitation of the infrastructure.
Find traces that mislead
Find a trace that validates but should not inspire trust, or a scenario where trust inheritance creates false confidence.
Find structural blind spots
Find missing signals, omitted context, or cases where escalation, verification, or validation gives the wrong impression.
Do not attack the system
Do not attempt to hack, scan, fuzz, overload, or abuse the website, server, API, database, filesystem, infrastructure, or users.
Logic review only
We are asking for logic review, not security exploitation, credential abuse, or malicious payload testing.
Safe Testing Paths
Best starting example for reviewers: DBaD v2.2 Runtime Demo.
Why DBaD exists · Examples · Peer review · Research demo · API docs · Recent traces
- Review example traces.
- Run validation through the UI.
- Propose adversarial scenarios in writing.
- Compare a valid trace against a trustworthy outcome.
- Identify boundary cases.
Challenge Scoring Logic
You may also challenge the DecencyMeter scoring layer separately from DBaD trace logic.
Focus on weights, assumptions, and interpretation, not the trace structure.
Open the live advisory surface at /decencymeter/demo, then use the reporting path below if the scoring model overreaches, underweights, or misleads.
How to Report Findings
The report path should be easier than overexplaining the issue in email.
Please report:
- What page or trace you reviewed.
- What assumption failed.
- Why the trace or logic could mislead someone.
- Whether it is a logic issue, documentation issue, UX issue, or future research issue.
- A suggested improvement if you have one.
Use the site’s existing report path or the Report issue link in the footer.
The goal is to make its limits visible before anyone relies on it too much.
