Rules and limitations
- The method sees one passage of what a participant said and the prompt it answers: never their code, their site, or anything else about them.
- Each question is asked twice: of the method about every passage, and of the teller about a few of their own. Where they differ is reported, not hidden.
- Arithmetic is code: shares, agreement and thresholds are computed from the answers when asked.
- Calibrated to self-reports: what the method reads is fit to how people read their own words, which is not what an outside coder would see.
- Each teller signifies only a few moments, chosen where the method was least sure; its agreement is measured on those, the hardest ones.
