Open by design
The framework is public, the methodology is documented, and the registry will expose a read-only API. If you study athlete welfare, sport governance or implementation science, there is a collaboration here.

For researchers
The evidence base needs building. Build it with us.
Work that is needed now
Before the first formal award, MindsMelt needs content-validity review, cognitive interviews, evidence-validity guidance, rater calibration, a pilot analysis plan and measurement-led comparison of possible decision methods. Modified Angoff is one option to examine, not a foregone conclusion.
What stays closed
Open methodology does not mean open identifiable data. Raw athlete interviews, applicant evidence and restricted complaint material remain controlled. Collaboration starts with governance, not a data export.
