| Strong positive — HRCB +0.73. Project demonstrates sustained, multi-sectoral alignment with UDHR principles. Core mission (transparency, informed consent, protection of intellectual property) directly supports Article 19 (freedom of expression), Article 25-27 (education, culture, health), and Article 8-21 (rights enforcement, due process, participation). Structural safeguards (no tracking, community governance, open source) protect privacy (Article 12) and prevent power concentration. Minor gaps in Article 11 (explicit innocence framework) and Articles 4-6 (out of scope). Project arrives as anticipatory regulatory infrastructure, enabling proactive human rights protection before mandatory enforcement. Mission
