Standards for measuring and pricing regulated outcomes.
A numbered series of public standards, each versioned and open to comment: how integrity, scores, duration and data provenance are defined, measured and reported.
A defined way to measure one thing, written so anyone can check it.
A Criterica standard states a scope, defines its terms, sets measurement and reporting rules, and says what it means to conform. It does not rate a model, a firm or a matter. It says how a figure must be built and what it must carry for a reader to rely on it.
Every standard has a code, a version and a status. A standard is either Published or a Request for comment. A request for comment is public in full and open to challenge before it is issued as a numbered version. A new version replaces an old one only with a dated entry in its history, and errors in a published version are recorded as dated errata, never silently edited.

The Legal Asset Integrity Standard is a framework for fraud prevention, transparency and institutional governance in litigation finance. It defines the Legal Asset Passport, the Legal Asset Integrity Score, evidence confidence, hard stops and continuous lifecycle surveillance. It sets out the fraud controls, governance and responsible-automation practices that a funder, an insurer or an auditor can require of a legal asset before capital is committed.
The Criterica Score is a 0 to 100 score with a defined target, a defined horizon, a defined reference population and a defined mapping from model output to score. Where the evidence does not support a score, the result is reported as not rated. A score is validated for each asset class by a preregistered backtest before any claim is made for it. The specification is versioned. A score is not an opinion on the merits of a matter and not a forecast of return.
The Duration Measurement Standard defines how the time a regulated outcome takes is measured and what a duration figure must carry. It defines the seven clocks, time at risk and its companion measures, and the start and stop events, censoring treatment, cutoff discipline and cohort rules that make a figure comparable. It requires that a duration figure be a band with a visible tail, stated against a named cohort and a named cutoff date.
The Data Provenance Standard defines what a party must be able to show about the data behind an estimate, a score or a model: the source of each record, its retrieval date, every transformation, the deduplication rule and the exclusions. It sets the sealed-outcome rule, under which the file that is scored carries no resolution field, no collected amount, no resolution date and no field that encodes them. It sets the disclosure a counterparty may require.

Questions
Each standard page carries a plain citation and a BibTeX entry with a copy button. Cite the code, the title and the version. A release candidate is cited as a release candidate.
A standard marked request for comment is published in full and open to comment before it is issued as a numbered version. Comments are read by Criterica Intelligence Research and answered in the version history.
An error in a published version is recorded as a dated erratum on the errata page for that version. The published text is not silently edited.
