Separate governance and assessment
The intention is an independent board and assessors with no personal or financial interest in the outcome.
Anti-Beunhaas
The assessment must stand on its own.
The proposed safeguards apply to the founder as well as participating businesses.
Separate interests from decisions.
No certification of the founder in the pilot
Expert Exact and affiliated businesses are excluded from the first pilot. The founder’s own disputes cannot serve as independent demonstration cases.
Hear both sides
Relevant parties must have an opportunity to provide their account and records. Conclusions need a stated basis and scope.
Funding must not buy a decision
Sponsorship, contributions and commercial relationships must not determine an assessment. Relevant interests must be disclosed.
Publish the rules.
The proposed foundation has not yet been established. Governance, appointments, rules, funding and privacy arrangements still need to be developed.
Challenges and reassessments must follow a separate review process. The final rules and responsible organisation will be published before formal case handling or certification starts.
Put your records in order.
Collect the relevant records before your next conversation with a contractor or adviser.
