What we publish.
And what we don't.
Meridian instruments critical infrastructure. With that comes a duty to publish in the public interest — and a duty to refuse when publication would cause harm.
Transparency by default
If publishing a dataset cannot harm a person, a community, or critical infrastructure, we publish it openly.
Operational safety
Real-time signals at a granularity that would aid an attacker are aggregated, delayed, or withheld. Safety overrides transparency.
Source consent
Where data comes from a willing partner, we honor the terms of that relationship — including the right to redact, delay, or revoke.
No surveillance use
Meridian intelligence will not be sold, licensed, or shared for the surveillance of individuals or the targeting of civilian infrastructure.
Equity of access
Academic, humanitarian, and crisis-response users access the core platform at no cost. Commercial revenue subsidizes public good.
Right of correction
Any actor described in Meridian data may request review. We publish corrections as new immutable versions, with a public changelog.
An independent Ethics Committee — comprising academics, civil society representatives, and former grid operators — reviews edge cases quarterly and publishes a public minutes summary.
