## Mathematical Formulation & Governance

$$
V_L = (0.35 \cdot S_{bench} + 0.30 \cdot S_{hf\_dl} + 0.20 \cdot S_{gh\_star} + 0.15 \cdot S_{query}) \cdot e^{-\lambda \cdot d} \cdot I_m
$$

- **Decay Function:** R_d(d) = e^(-0.045 * d), where d is days elapsed since verified public release date
- **Integrity Multiplier:** 1.00x – 1.15x for audited model weights with cryptographically verified checksums and reproducible benchmarks
- **Verification Gate:** Proof Before Claim: 1 primary lab announcement with weights/API OR 2 secondary independent benchmark reproductions + 1 verified social developer demonstration. Unverified claims receive 0.00 score and are quarantined.
