Governance Model
The Derivative Intelligence framework evolves through transparent, community-driven governance. No hidden updates. No centralized control.
Governance Principles
Distributed Authority
No single entity has unilateral control over the framework. Governance power is distributed across the community.
Transparent Process
All governance decisions, discussions, and rationale are publicly documented and accessible.
Inclusive Participation
Barriers to participation are minimized. Diverse perspectives are actively sought and valued.
Accountable Evolution
Changes to the framework are versioned, auditable, and can be traced back to their governance origins.
The Governance Process
Every change to the framework follows a structured, transparent process.
