What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
It is a governance framework (a vendor's voluntary risk policy), not a product; valuable as a maturing, public, third-iteration reference with concrete reports, but with no enforcement, no quantitative thresholds, and self-described nascent misalignment methodology.
Next
Use FSF v3's CCL/TCL taxonomy and published Gemini FSF reports as a reference template for our own deployment risk-tiering; do not treat the framework as an adoptable tool or external assurance.
