Access to Protected Research Materials

The theoretical framework described on this website represents years of intellectual development and is protected by provisional patent application No. 63/914,253. Access to detailed research materials, technical specifications, and partnership documentation requires execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Materials Requiring NDA

The following materials are available only to parties who have executed an NDA:

• Research Synopsis – Comprehensive theoretical overview including detailed methodology, VI/DDI/NAI calculation specifications, and validation requirements
• Vulnerability Index (VI) Methodology – Technical specifications for philosophical coherence assessment, value stability measurement, life satisfaction trajectory analysis, and CAPS fluidity scoring
• Digital Dignity Index (DDI) Technical Specifications – Detailed moral disengagement detection protocols, EMM tactic identification systems, and procedural burden quantification methods
• Case Study Analysis – Theoretical analysis of institutional grinding campaigns with VI×DDI interaction modeling
• Patent Application Details – Technical specifications beyond public summary, including algorithmic methods and system architecture
• Partnership Proposal Templates – Detailed research collaboration frameworks with study designs, resource requirements, and outcome measurement protocols
• EMM Taxonomy Documentation – Comprehensive institutional manipulation tactic classification and detection methodologies

What the NDA Covers

By executing the NDA, parties agree to:

• Maintain Confidentiality – Protect all disclosed materials from unauthorized disclosure or publication
• Limit Use – Use materials solely for evaluation of potential research collaboration, not for independent commercialization or competitive development
• Restrict Access – Share materials only with individuals within your organization who have a legitimate need to evaluate partnership opportunities
• Return Materials – Return or destroy all materials upon request or if partnership discussions do not proceed
• Duration – Maintain confidentiality for five (5) years from date of disclosure

Who Should Sign an NDA

The NDA is appropriate for:

• Academic Researchers – Faculty, postdoctoral researchers, or graduate students exploring potential collaboration on empirical validation studies
• Clinical Practitioners – Therapists, clinical organizations, or advocacy groups considering piloting intervention protocols
• Legal Professionals – Attorneys, policy advocates, or regulatory specialists evaluating applications to litigation or regulatory reform
• Technical Specialists – NLP engineers, data scientists, or software developers assessing algorithm development opportunities
• Institutional Representatives – Universities, research institutes, clinical organizations, or technology companies exploring formal partnership agreements
• Media/Journalists – Credentialed journalists seeking detailed background for serious investigative reporting (subject to additional journalism-specific terms)

What the NDA Does NOT Cover

The following are NOT subject to confidentiality obligations:

• Information already publicly available on this website
• Information independently developed without reference to disclosed materials
• Information lawfully obtained from third parties without confidentiality restrictions
• Information required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or court order (with prior notice to enable protective measures)
