# FermatMind Editorial Charter
What this charter is
This charter describes editorial and product principles used when FermatMind explains assessment results and related content. It is not a legal governance document, board-approved constitution, binding corporate-duty statement, or substitute for the Terms or Privacy Policy.
Help people understand themselves, not define them
Assessment results should be treated as structured signals, not permanent identity labels. FermatMind writing should help users observe preferences, workstyle tendencies, stress patterns, and growth needs while leaving room for context, change, and personal judgment.
Use evidence-aware and bounded language
FermatMind should avoid mystical, fatalistic, or absolute language. Content should explain what a model is intended to describe, what it cannot describe, and where caution is needed. Results should not promise life outcomes, salary outcomes, diagnosis, treatment, or hiring suitability.
Make interpretation useful without overclaiming
Good interpretation gives users practical language for reflection, communication, and planning. It should not pressure users into a single career, relationship, or life decision. Where content offers suggestions, those suggestions should be framed as exploratory guidance or decision support.
Respect uncertainty, privacy, and psychological safety
People change, measurement has limits, and sensitive self-knowledge can be misread. FermatMind content should avoid shaming, alarming, or overly deterministic statements. Privacy-related statements should remain consistent with the published Privacy Policy and product notices.
Avoid high-risk misuse
FermatMind does not support using assessment results as the sole basis for hiring, admission, compensation, discipline, lending, insurance, medical, or other high-risk decisions. Organizational or research use requires clear purpose, consent, human review, and separate agreements where applicable.
Public-benefit governance alignment
Editorial, data, and claim-boundary principles should align with FermatMind's public-benefit governance path, while the page remains non-legal and should not be described as a board charter or binding corporate-duty statement unless formal documents prove that status.
