Design Philosophy - This matrix shows the intended division of responsibilities between AKEL and humans. v2.6.33 implements the automated claim evaluation; human responsibilities require the user system (not yet implemented).

Automated by AKEL

 Function  Details  Status
 Claim Evaluation  Evidence extraction, source scoring, verdict generation, risk classification, publication  Implemented
 Quality Assessment  Contradiction detection, confidence scoring, pattern recognition, anomaly flagging  Partial (Gates 1 and 4)
 Content Management  KeyFactor generation, evidence linking, source tracking  Implemented

Human Responsibilities

 Function  Details  Status
 Algorithm Improvement  Monitor metrics, identify issues, propose fixes, test, deploy  Via code changes
 Policy Governance  Set criteria, define risk tiers, establish thresholds, update guidelines  Not implemented (env vars only)
 Exception Handling  Review flagged items, handle abuse, address safety, manage legal  Not implemented
 Strategic Decisions  Budget, hiring, major policy, partnerships  N/A

Key Principles

Never Manual:

  • Individual claim approval
  • Routine content review
  • Verdict overrides (fix algorithm instead)
  • Publication gates

Key Principle: AKEL handles all content decisions. Humans improve the system, not the data.
