Governance
The Institute’s research agenda and methodological standards are not self-certified. They are held by an Academic Council whose authority is written into the Institute’s design: nothing is presented as evidence that has not met its standard.
The Council’s role
Brings together scholars and practitioners across health systems, technology, economics, and development, so the discipline is examined from every side that must trust it.
Holds the research agenda and the methodological standards of AI Translation: how translations are documented, how developmental milestones are defined, and what rigor requires in each context.
Reviews the evidence program before publication. Negative results are published under the same standard as success, and the Institute’s public claims are bounded by what the Council has verified.
The Council is convened by a Founding Chair, a senior scholar in health systems whose role is independent of the Institute’s management: the Chair’s authority over what may be claimed as evidence is the Institute’s deepest integrity mechanism. Membership of the Council is announced as appointments are confirmed.
The Council’s seat is outside the Institute’s operations. Financial boundaries between the Institute, its academic partners, and the cooperative are published and kept clean, so that the evidence can be trusted precisely because those who verify it do not depend on it.
Legal form, stated plainly: the Institute is a Delaware nonprofit corporation; its application for federal 501(c)(3) recognition is in preparation, with deductibility retroactive to incorporation upon determination. Governing documents, policies, and reports will be published on this page as they are adopted. Named board and Council members are announced as appointments are confirmed.
