# Coursecandor

Admit a mistaken direction, say what showed it, and set a check others can use on the correction

Layer: Society · Category: Governance

## Mechanism

When a direction turns out to be mistaken, the party responsible says so, states what showed it, as an [IntentGap](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/IntentGap.md) analysis would, and says what changes. It then sets an observable check by which others can judge whether the correction worked.

## Invariants

- The admission names the mistaken direction and the evidence that showed it.
- The correction comes with an observable check that others can apply.

## Failure modes

- Silent pivot: the direction changes without admitting the old one was wrong.
- Ritual apology: the mistake is admitted but nothing checkable follows.
