Tyche Institute · Legal-Temporal Accountability

When AI evidence arrives late.

AI-governance evidence is often useful before it is comparable: a decision is public but its anchors are unverified, a date exists but its role is ambiguous, a policy changes but no prior version is preserved. This observatory types each row's state and names its gate before any legal, timing, or normative claim — across legal decisions (CLIO), normative change (NOMAD), and regulatory-lag timing (Temporal Commons).

One row-state discipline, three surfaces

CLIO

Computational legal intelligence: AI-related legal and administrative decisions as evidence packages, not flat citations.

  • 6 seed decision packages, tiered by anchor granularity
  • Per-package manuscript & quotation gates
  • Europe-first; no doctrinal-finality claim

NOMAD

Normative-diff observatory: change in public AI-governance texts must be segment-pair evidence, not a loose "the policy changed".

  • 8 seeded source families; 9 publication units
  • 4-level evidence-readiness ladder
  • Blocked rows kept visible, not hidden

Temporal Commons

Regulatory-lag observatory: incident-to-response timing with date-role typing; causal language defaults to not-claimed.

  • Date roles never treated as interchangeable
  • 9-row governed export with lag-quality classes
  • No causation or representative-lag claim

A row is promoted only when its gate closes

1 · VisiblePublic and captured. Gate: assign a source family.
2 · Source-family codedHas a provenance class & proof ceiling. Gate: type its dates.
3 · Date-role codedDates carry roles & lag-quality. Gate: establish a pair or anchor.
4 · Claim-support linkedSegment pair or decision anchor exists. Gate: resolve language & quotation.
5 · Quote/denominator readyCan be quoted or counted — within its own denominator only.

This observatory reports evidence readiness, not legal conclusions. It makes no claim of legal truth, doctrinal synthesis, operative legal effect, causation, representative regulatory lag, jurisdiction performance, prevalence, compliance, or legal-corpus completeness. Non-English material is gated: machine-translation-only text never supports a legal conclusion. Counts are attributed to their owning observatory and never fused.
