The Good-Faith Framework: An Introduction

False Balance Breaker: When harm is unequal, this module requires you to state it plainly ("Police inflicted most of the harm.") instead of using "both-sides" framing.
Provenance Lens: This requires sources to be labeled by their class and incentive (e.g., "police press office," "advertiser-funded outlet") to make power dynamics transparent.
Harm Ledger: A structured schema ( Actor → Action → Target → Evidence → Stop-Now → Structural Change → Date ) for recording harm forensically, preventing evasion through ambiguity.
