Why this exists
EvolveMeter is only as trustworthy as the verifications that feed it. This policy is what protects every Joule on the platform.
Verification integrity
- Two-party verification is enforced at the database level on default meters.
- Self-verification of your own fulfilment is blocked.
- Coordinated fake verification (collusion, bot accounts, sock-puppets) is grounds for immediate removal.
What is not allowed
- Logging contributions that did not occur.
- Verifying without first-hand knowledge.
- Manipulating category weights to inflate a workspace's meter for external reporting.
- Using EvolveMeter to harvest personal data for purposes outside the workspace's stated use.
The Joule disclaimer
Joules on EvolveMeter are a structural proxy for Positive Human Energy. They are not a scientific measurement and must never be presented externally as such. Any public reporting derived from EvolveMeter data must carry this disclosure.
