What is the Charter §2 gate?

A fixed set of pass/fail statistics comparing challenger vs champion on the shadow set, coverage, calibration, and horizon-return improvement: that a candidate must clear before promotion is even offered.

Model Intelligence Charter

Q: What does the Charter govern?

The end-to-end lifecycle of a scorer version: how it is proposed, how it is shadow-run against live traffic, how the §2 gate evaluates it, and how (and by whom) it can be promoted to champion.

Q: Who can promote a scorer version?

Only a super_admin, via a single explicit click, after the Charter §2 gate has verified the candidate. Auto-rollback can write intent rows but can never promote.

Q: How is the Charter versioned?

The Charter is a public document at docs/MODEL_INTELLIGENCE_CHARTER.md and is the single source of truth for gate math. Changes to gate math require a Charter revision.

The Charter is the only source for gate math on scorer promotion. Every new challenger version is shadow-run, evaluated against the Charter §2 gate, and only promoted after a super-admin click. Kill-switches default off; auto-rollback writes intent rows but never promotes.
