As of 2026-07-21, the 16 seats span 2.00 to 3.00 on the 1–5 permissive→restrictive axis (spread 1.00): anthropic-a at 2.00, anthropic-b at 2.00, anthropic-c at 2.00, anthropic-d at 2.00, deepseek-a at 2.00, deepseek-b at 2.00, openai-a at 2.00, openai-b at 2.00, openai-c at 2.00, simulant-a at 3.00, xai-a at 2.00. Ten shuffled trials per seat; every mean carries its SE. Pre-series

The five positions

anchors carry the meaning, the scale cannot drift as discourse drifts
1

Yes, directly: forecasts set deployment; prevention follows probability.

2

Forecasts advise; commanders decide, with methods published and audited against outcomes.

3

Forecasts may be built from incident reports only; never from area history or demographic proxies.

4

Forecasts may inform staffing and readiness only; never where to patrol.

5

No predictive input to policing: patrols by declared rules and community decision only.
