AIC-Policy-Tools

Orientation tools, checklists, and lightweight scripts for risk classification and regulatory mapping relevant to Adaptive Intelligence Circle work.

Status: pre-Covenant, experimental, under-claim.
This repository provides orientation aids only. It is not legal advice, not a compliance certification, not a substitute for qualified counsel, and not a claim that any AIC component meets or fails any regulatory requirement.

Purpose

• Help contributors and maintainers think systematically about risk classification.
• Provide high-level mapping sketches to selected regulatory vocabularies (EU AI Act orientation, Vietnam-related orientation notes).
• Offer reusable checklist and template structures for internal documentation.
• Keep all language consistent with AIC principles: under-claim, entity ≠ immunity, Third Path, fail-closed, no token rule-power.

Quick start

1. Read docs/overview.md and docs/limitations.md first.
2. Use checklists under checklists/ for structured self-reflection.
3. Copy templates under templates/ when writing internal notes.
4. Optionally run the heuristic script (see scripts/) — treat output as a prompt for human judgment, never as a decision.

Relationship to other AIC repositories

• AIC-Legal — authoritative place for formal policy and legal-oriented documents; this repo supplies supporting tools and orientation only.
• AIC-Formal / AIC-Security-Harness — technical properties and testing; policy tools remain separate and non-binding.
• AIC-TransparencyDashboard — public accountability surface; policy orientation notes may later inform what is disclosed, but no automatic link is assumed.
• AIC-Beginners / MyVision — philosophical and onboarding context.

Principles observed

• Under-claim: every artifact carries explicit limits.
• Entity ≠ immunity: tools and notes do not create special status for any organization or person.
• No token rule-power: no economic or token-based governance appears.
• Fail-closed posture in spirit: when uncertain, prefer more restrictive classification and human review.
• Pre-Covenant: nothing here advances a mainnet or Covenant declaration.
• Not legal advice: repeated in documentation and scripts.

Maintenance note

During periods of reduced maintainer availability the repository remains public.
Contributions that preserve under-claim language and the “not legal advice” boundary are welcome.
