Measurement integrity and consolidation gates.

NextConsensus does not guess. It measures the density of consensus by tracking the resistance of a claim to adversarial modification. We use explicit thresholds—consolidation gates—to decide when a signal is strong enough to carry a decision.

The Consolidation Doctrine

A claim is "hardened" when it stops moving under pressure. We measure this through four transformation pipelines, resulting in a single integrated signal score.

0.38

Safe Block

Verified

Outcome: Consensus starts to harden.

At 0.38, the system detects a significant shift in claim dynamics. Debate continues, but the core proposition is no longer being modified or removed with high frequency. This is the first signal wave.

0.65

Consolidation Gate

Required for Promotion

Outcome: Promote to Strong Claim.

The 0.65 threshold represents consensus density. Crossing this gate triggers the promotion of the signal to an authoritative decision brief. At this stage, the claim is resistant to even highly adversarial pressure.

Integrity Policy

The Publication Boundary

To maintain measurement integrity, we enforce a strict publication boundary. Until a claim family (e.g., SGLT2 earlier initiation) clears the 0.65 consolidation gate in an authoritative backtest, all downstream briefs remain "Frozen" or "Non-Authoritative."

Current Integrated Signal 0.38

Verified for Finerenone (Kerendia) lane.

Promotion Threshold 0.65

Consensus density required for strong-claim promotion.

Boundary Status Frozen

Strong claims held until next validation cycle.
