Step 3: Rate the Verdict
Verdict Score:
Write down your official score. You must rate this choice on a scale of 1 to 5:
5 (Green Light)
Totally Worth It. Under the 100x Multiplier, society gets better. The benefits outweigh any small risks.
3 (Yellow Light)
Proceed with Caution. It's only okay if we add strict human rules/guardrails to protect people.
1 (Red Light)
Stop Immediately. If everyone does this, human trust or fairness completely breaks down.
