11.1 Spatio-Temporal Narrative Risk Analysis and Attribution Standards

11.1.1 Strategic Purpose and Narrative Governance Mandate

11.1.1.1 This Section establishes the Global Risks Alliance’s (GRA) spatio-temporal protocols and narrative risk attribution standards to ensure that all public risk communications, civic broadcasts, and clause-linked narratives are governed by verifiable, simulation-aligned, and jurisdictionally harmonized clause infrastructure.

11.1.1.2 Given the rise of disinformation, narrative manipulation, and spatially unbounded claims within global risk communication ecosystems, this Section codifies safeguards to validate the origin, scope, and temporal jurisdiction of public narratives derived from clause-executed simulations.

11.1.1.3 These standards are enforceable via:

  • The ClauseCommons narrative verification architecture;

  • NSF’s credentialed replay and geospatial audit mechanisms;

  • Cross-jurisdictional simulation logs aligned with Sections IV, V, IX, and X of this Charter.

11.1.2 Definitions and Scope of Attribution Protocols

11.1.2.1 For the purpose of this Section, a Narrative Risk Object (NRO) is defined as any claim, visualization, data story, or policy recommendation derived from a clause-executed simulation, subject to public interpretation and civic or sovereign response.

11.1.2.2 Spatio-Temporal Attribution (STA) refers to the formal process of binding each NRO to:

  • A geographic boundary (GID);

  • A temporal window (TID);

  • A clause-executed Simulation ID (SID);

  • An origin signature (credentialed author, institution, or simulation agent).

11.1.2.3 All NROs must be verifiable, reproducible, and traceable under NSF replay conditions, with override flags and audit receipts logged in §8.8.

11.1.3 Geospatial Tagging and Scenario Bounding

11.1.3.1 All narrative outputs must be tagged with ISO 19115-compliant geospatial metadata including:

  • Coordinate systems (WGS84 or relevant local standard);

  • Bounding polygons (GeoJSON, SHP, GPKG);

  • Risk domain classification (e.g., flood, conflict, biodiversity collapse);

  • Sovereign and sub-national jurisdiction tags.

11.1.3.2 Scenario bounding is mandatory and requires:

  • Clause-linked geographic IDs (GIDs);

  • Temporal resolution definitions (e.g., seasonal, 10-day, multi-decade windows);

  • Cross-scale mapping for regional or transboundary risk narratives.

11.1.3.3 Any unbounded or ambiguous narrative output shall be auto-flagged and quarantined in the ClauseCommons Civic Review Layer (§11.6).

11.1.4 Temporal Windows and Forecast Anchoring

11.1.4.1 Temporal attribution for all narrative outputs must conform to:

  • A simulation-certified forecast interval;

  • Scenario replay interval (start/end);

  • Change-point detection logic where applicable.

11.1.4.2 All outputs must include:

  • Forecast origin date and validity duration;

  • Reference to SIDs and SRI versions (§4.3, §4.9);

  • Historical anchoring if based on past event reconstruction.

11.1.4.3 Time-based narratives without bounded SIDs or override protections must not be disseminated to sovereign or civic interfaces without Simulation Council approval.

11.1.5 Clause-Based Narrative Verification Architecture

11.1.5.1 The GRA mandates that all NROs be certified under the Narrative Clause Verification Protocol (NCVP), requiring:

  • Clause ID and SID linkage;

  • Credentialed authorship metadata;

11.6 Public Trust Ratings and Simulation Outcome Disclosures

11.6.1 Strategic Purpose and Civic Accountability Architecture

11.6.1.1 This Section codifies the Global Risks Alliance’s (GRA) official protocol for generating, maintaining, and publishing Public Trust Ratings (PTRs) and simulation outcome disclosures across all Tracks, with a primary emphasis on Track V civic engagement and Track IV capital governance.

11.6.1.2 Public Trust Ratings serve as both a confidence measure and a legitimacy mechanism, quantifying civic, institutional, and sovereign trust in clause-executed simulations. These ratings enable:

  • Democratic accountability in clause-governed AI and policy forecasting;

  • Scenario outcome verification through participatory consensus;

  • Risk communication and disclosure alignment with international transparency frameworks (e.g., Aarhus Convention, SDG 16.10, OECD Guidelines on Governance).

11.6.1.3 Simulation outcome disclosures represent the public-facing record of clause-generated results, including:

  • Scenario trajectories;

  • Clause logic branches and overrides;

  • Institutional endorsements, dissent, or abstentions.

11.6.2 Definitions and Ratings Scope

11.6.2.1 Public Trust Rating (PTR) refers to a composite metric derived from:

  • Civic participation density and feedback engagement (§11.5.9);

  • Scenario replay access statistics;

  • Anomaly detection logs and override frequency;

  • AI explainability and clause interpretability ratings (§8.6.4, §8.7.5);

  • Cross-jurisdictional alignment with treaty bodies or sovereign narratives (§10.3).

11.6.2.2 PTRs are stratified by:

  • Simulation ID (SID);

  • Clause ID and track domain (Track I–V);

  • Public accessibility tier (public, restricted, sovereign);

  • Temporal scope (per cycle, per year, cumulative).

11.6.3 Trust Metric Design and Rating Engine Architecture

11.6.3.1 The PTR architecture must:

  • Be clause-governed and open-source;

11.10 Public Risk Alerts and Civic Communication Protocols

11.10.1 Purpose and Multilateral Civic Protection Mandate

11.10.1.1 This Section establishes the Global Risks Alliance’s (GRA) protocols for issuing clause-governed, simulation-verified public risk alerts and managing civic communication across all Tracks, with particular emphasis on anticipatory action, information integrity, and participatory verification.

11.10.1.2 The objective is to ensure that civic populations, institutional stakeholders, and sovereign actors receive timely, credible, and contextually appropriate notifications tied to clause-activated risk scenarios across domains including DRR, DRF, health, food, energy, and biosafety.

11.10.1.3 This Section integrates:

  • Early warning standards from UNDRR and WMO,

  • Human rights frameworks from OHCHR and ICCPR Article 19,

  • Open risk communication strategies aligned with SDG Targets 11.5, 13.1, and 16.10.

11.10.2 Clause-Linked Public Alert Typology

11.10.2.1 All public risk alerts must be clause-anchored and simulation-indexed. They fall under five types:

  • Type I – Preventive Alert: Issued prior to predicted risk activation (e.g., climate hazard, epidemic potential);

  • Type II – Active Scenario Alert: Simulation trigger has been activated and affects a real-time risk environment;

  • Type III – Override Alert: Clause override or emergency governance measure triggered (§5.4, §8.6.2);

  • Type IV – Misinformation Alert: Identifies harmful narratives or AI-generated risk misrepresentations (§11.2.3);

  • Type V – Recovery and Reconciliation Notice: Marks the closure, withdrawal, or update of prior alerts.

11.10.2.2 Every alert must reference a valid Clause ID, Simulation ID (SID), risk domain tag, and responsible issuing role (sovereign, civic, institutional).

11.10.3 Simulation-Integrated Alert Generation

11.10.3.1 Public alerts are generated through clause-bound triggers within simulation engines, and must:

  • Include simulation timestamp and forecast horizon;

  • Be verified through NSF trust layer before publication;

  • Contain spatial resolution tags (district, watershed, regional, sovereign zone).

11.10.3.2 Alert issuance must be replayable via simulation dashboards (§4.10), and accessible in public civic portals governed under §9.5 and §11.6.

11.10.4 Multilingual and Contextual Accessibility Standards

11.10.4.1 All alerts must be translated into:

  • At least two official languages of the affected jurisdiction;

11.10.8 Override, Escalation, and Dispute Protocols

11.10.8.1 If an alert is disputed or challenged, a multi-track escalation mechanism is initiated:

  • Step 1: Contributor flags clause discrepancy or data inconsistency;

  • Step 2: NSF triggers temporary suspension and simulation replay review;

  • Step 3: Track II–IV oversight panels conduct formal verification;

  • Step 4: GRA publishes override or ratification notice with transparent metrics (§8.6.5, §11.6.2).

11.10.8.2 Emergency override clauses may suppress alert visibility in high-risk volatility scenarios (e.g., capital markets, civil unrest, conflict zones), pending resolution and alternative disclosure pathways.

11.10.9 Transparency Metrics and Post-Alert Audits

11.10.9.1 Each alert issued under this Section must be tracked under the GRA Public Risk Ledger, including:

  • Alert issuance time, risk domain, and alert type;

  • Notification reach and platform distribution metrics;

  • Public flag counts, trust rating fluctuations, and feedback logs.

11.10.9.2 Post-alert audits must be conducted within 30 days and scored on:

  • Simulation accuracy and scenario match;

  • Communication efficacy and civic response alignment;

  • Ethical compliance, override triggers, and conflict resolution outcome.

11.10.10 Summary

11.10.10.1 This Section formalizes the issuance, verification, and public interface of clause-triggered civic risk alerts across the GRA’s global governance framework, ensuring information integrity, legal accountability, and sovereign-aligned dissemination.

11.10.10.2 By embedding simulation verification, multilingual access, trust metrics, override safeguards, and narrative integrity, the GRA establishes a new standard for public risk communication—linking policy, foresight, and civic agency under a clause-enforced, globally trusted infrastructure.
