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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
