  - The Frame Divergence interface contract
    (docs/FRAME_DIVERGENCE_CONTRACT_v1.md).
  - The Frame Check transmissions collection (data/transmissions/),
    curated research pieces.
  - The Frame Check Source Network calibration dataset, including
    bundled per-run reports under calibration/results/.
  - The worked-examples collection (data/worked_examples/).
  - The decision-readiness validation corpus and aggregate findings
    (validation/decision_readiness/corpus/ and aggregate.{json,md}
    files under validation/decision_readiness/results/).

Third-party content notices.

The validation corpus and worked-examples collection bundle verbatim
content from third parties under the following postures:

  - AI-generated content. Bundled corpus and worked-example assets
    include verbatim outputs from third-party AI providers (Anthropic
    Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, xAI Grok). These outputs are
    redistributed in service of the methodology's transparency
    discipline (showing the documents Frame Check was measured on).
    Each provider's terms of service govern downstream redistribution
    of model outputs; consult the relevant provider's terms before
    redistributing the LLM-generated portions of the bundled assets.
    Locations of AI-generated content:
    - data/worked_examples/four-llms-on-bitcoin-retirement-2026/llm_responses.json
    - data/worked_examples/ai-on-life-decisions-startup-2026/data.json
      (response_text from GPT-5)
    - data/worked_examples/divergence-on-claude-bitcoin-retirement-2026/source_document.md
      and divergence_output.json (response from Anthropic Claude)
    - data/worked_examples/grok-on-nvidia-earnings-2026/data.json
      (llm_summary from xAI Grok; the file also bundles the NVIDIA
      press release source under source.text, governed by the
      press-release posture below)
    - The eight derived corpus entries under
      validation/decision_readiness/corpus/four-llms-{bitcoin,startup}-{claude,gemini,grok,openai}/

  - Press release content. The validation corpus and worked-examples
    bundle verbatim third-party press releases for transparency:
    - NVIDIA Q4 FY24 earnings (also bundled in
      data/worked_examples/grok-on-nvidia-earnings-2026/data.json
      under source.text, plus
      validation/decision_readiness/corpus/nvidia-q4-fy24-press-release/document.md).
      Copyright remains with NVIDIA Corporation.
    Press release content is redistributed under standard fair-use
    posture for analytical excerpting in research and methodology
    demonstration. Frame Check's analytical commentary on press
    releases is CC-BY-4.0; press release text itself is not.

  - Externally-authored essays referenced by analysis. The worked-
    examples collection includes Frame Check analyses of two externally-
    authored documents whose text is NOT bundled (referenced via
    source_document_url metadata only):
    - The Federal Reserve March 2026 FOMC Statement (federalreserve.gov)
      analyzed in data/worked_examples/fomc-statement-march-2026.md
    - "The Intelligence Age" (Sam Altman, 2024, ia.samaltman.com)
      analyzed in data/worked_examples/the-intelligence-age-altman-2024.md
    These analytical files are CC-BY-4.0; the source documents at
    the cited URLs are governed by the original publishers' terms.

Frame Check's analytical outputs (measurements, profiles, frame matches,
narrative interpretations) over any input, including the third-party
content above, are CC-BY-4.0 as part of the methodology's transparency
posture.
