## Summary

- **`code/`:** only the study scripts the founder expressly approves are released, under the MIT licence (text below): `code/lib.ts`, `code/verify.ts`. Every other study script is proprietary and is not in the package; no other code is licensed.
- **The redacted evidence datasets:** CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), © 2026 AlphaCitation (Akunudo LLC-FZ), only where Akunudo LLC-FZ holds the redistribution rights. Any file or field derived from third-party material keeps its own rights and restrictions, listed per file below, and the Gemini constraints of the Gemini reporting policy apply. Gemini results are reported in aggregate; verbatim outputs and grounding links are not redistributed.
- **Figures:** the figure files (the SVGs, the figure data in CSV and FIGURES.md) are CC BY 4.0, © 2026 AlphaCitation (Akunudo LLC-FZ), and are governed by this manifest. Scripts not in `code/`, `figures.ts` among them, are not released and not licensed.
- **Documentation** (README, DATA-DICTIONARY, REDACTION-LOG, ENDPOINT-SPECIFICATIONS, FIGURES, MANIFEST, the token map, this file): CC BY 4.0, © 2026 AlphaCitation (Akunudo LLC-FZ).
- **Third-party material** keeps its original rights and contractual restrictions; the notices are in README.md, "Licence and third-party material".
