Methods with a declared boundary

Methods publish with their purpose, controlled inputs, outputs, limitation, public evidence anchor and AI-use boundary.

Approved method

CRIRSCO-aligned resource governance

Purpose
Keep geological evidence, classification, materiality and public reporting responsibilities connected.
Controlled inputs
Validated exploration data, estimation basis, competent-person review and reporting context.
Outputs
Controlled evidence register, classification rationale, review record and disclosure route.
Limitation
The method does not create a resource estimate or replace a qualified sign-off.
AI use
AI may organize public source records; it may not classify resources or provide sign-off.

Public evidence anchor

Approved method

AACE estimate-maturity review

Purpose
Align estimate class, definition maturity, decision purpose and uncertainty.
Controlled inputs
Scope definition, engineering maturity, estimate basis, schedule basis and risk register.
Outputs
Class statement, maturity gaps, basis review and conditions for the next decision.
Limitation
A class is not an accuracy guarantee and is always stated with its basis.
AI use
AI may compare controlled fields; it may not assign an estimate class without expert review.

Public evidence anchor

Approved method

IFC impact and commitment map

Purpose
Connect applicable environmental and social requirements to design, evidence and operating controls.
Controlled inputs
Area of influence, baseline evidence, affected groups, impact pathways and applicable requirements.
Outputs
Requirement map, commitment register, monitoring evidence and corrective-action route.
Limitation
National law, permits and project-specific stakeholder evidence remain separate controlling inputs.
AI use
AI may index published requirements; it may not determine legal compliance or consent.

Public evidence anchor

Approved method

Corridor interface register

Purpose
Treat mine, rail, port, power, water and institutions as one controlled capacity chain.
Controlled inputs
System boundaries, interface owners, dated capacities, operating rules and dependency evidence.
Outputs
Interface matrix, constraint register, decision sequence and acceptance conditions.
Limitation
Public corridor evidence frames questions; route-specific capacity requires operator and engineering records.
AI use
AI may surface dependencies from approved records; it may not infer missing capacity.

Public evidence anchor

Approved method

Closed-corpus public evidence retrieval

Purpose
Retrieve relevant published Aurus material without opening private files or the wider web.
Controlled inputs
A bounded question, requested locale and immutable public-corpus records.
Outputs
Ranked public records, a cited answer, a refusal or an unanswerable state.
Limitation
The assistant cannot identify clients, inspect private evidence, give legal advice or make investment conclusions.
AI use
AI drafts only from retrieved public records. The server verifies citations and refuses unsafe requests.
