Human Influence Telemetry v0.1.0

Human Influence Telemetry (HIT) is a documentary assurance method for testing whether formal human oversight retained practical force in an AI-mediated institutional decision process.

Included in this release

  • working specification v0.1.0;
  • six substantive dimensions: Counsel, Judgment, Command, Correction, Repair, and Reform;
  • cross-cutting Telemetry Integrity assessment;
  • four findings: absent (0), ceremonial (1), substantive (2), and insufficient evidence (IE);
  • machine-readable assessment schema and dimension catalog;
  • three deterministic fixtures covering substantive influence, ceremonial review, and insufficient evidence;
  • application handbook;
  • research protocol and claim register;
  • limitations and provenance records;
  • automated repository validation;
  • governance, contribution, security, and conduct policies;
  • software citation and Zenodo metadata.

Demonstrated

The release demonstrates that:

  1. a HIT assessment can represent all six substantive dimensions and Telemetry Integrity;
  2. the repository distinguishes IE from demonstrated absence;
  3. included fixtures validate deterministically;
  4. the specification, schema, catalog, fixtures, and metadata can be checked through one repository command.

Not demonstrated

The release does not establish:

  • inter-rater reliability;
  • prospective institutional effectiveness;
  • a causal relationship between HIT findings and reduced harm;
  • legal compliance or standards conformity;
  • certification;
  • independent institutional adoption;
  • superiority over other human-oversight methods.

Validation

python -m pip install --requirement requirements-dev.txt
python scripts/validate.py

Expected result:

HIT validation: PASS
