Value-priority measurement of persons & organizations
AIO 10003 measures the value priorities revealed in public records (decisions, actions, statements) as rankings on a domain × 45-cell grid. It also reports the distance between what is professed (words) and what is revealed (actions).
AIO 10003: analyze an individual’s value priorities from public records
The standard number is the goal statement. The digits 1·00·0·3 say whose values, in which domain, and which action this document covers.
Individual: persons (and organizations with public records)
Common: domain-independent
Base document
Analyze: measure revealed priorities
What this standard defines: event collection (pre-registered sampling frame, source URLs, confidence grades), pair coding (genuine conflicts only, i≻j), ranking estimation (Bradley–Terry / Plackett–Luce with confidence intervals), professed–revealed gap reporting, and verified/unverified · observed/inherited/estimated labeling. What it does not define: whether a person, organization, or value is good or bad. These measurements describe priority structure only and never judge (non-normative). All evidence comes from records that are already public.
Step 3 of the integrity cycle: Analyze (individual axis)
AIO 10003 is the first published standard on the individual (1) subject axis. The individual-axis setting (10001) and recording (10002) standards are planned stages; the same analysis cell on the organization (2) axis holds AIO 20003 · Benchmark.
How it is measured
Public records (decisions, actions) are collected within a pre-registered sampling frame. Every event carries source URLs and a confidence grade.
Only genuine conflicts are coded, conservatively: which value was sacrificed for which (i≻j). Mere mentions are not evidence.
Bradley–Terry / Plackett–Luce models estimate latent rankings per cell with confidence intervals, suited to sparse, unbalanced observations.
The distance between professed rankings (words) and revealed rankings (actions) is reported. This distance is the core output.
- Public records never cover every value pair. Only covered pairs are marked "observed"; the rest are labeled inherited, estimated, or no data.
- Only cells meeting the verification conditions (coder reliability, transitivity, minimum observations) are marked "verified"; an entire subject is never called "verified."
- A professed–revealed gap is not grounds for failing verification; it is a reported finding.
