Operator and review model
ETFCTA is owned, published, and operated by Sohadot as independent reference infrastructure. Operational and correction contact: agent@sohadot.com.
The current review model is disclosed as single-operator: one operator performs extraction, classification, review, and publication. No independent second reviewer is appointed. Independent review becomes mandatory — and is recorded as such — only where the stakes justify it: a conflicting-evidence finding, a material correction, an ECS standard amendment, a legally sensitive claim, or any paid activity related to classification. This keeps independent review meaningful rather than nominal, and states the concentration openly rather than implying a larger team.
The independent-review capability is operational in governance and code: a blocking gate prevents publication of any review-triggering state without a valid, independent, approving review, and the reviewer qualification, conflict-disclosure, checklist, outcome, and decision-boundary rules are published. No reviewer is appointed and no review is recorded yet; the register stays empty and blocks triggered states until a qualified reviewer exists. Read the Independent Review Standard.

Sponsorship boundary
Funding or commercial relationships must never buy classification outcomes, suppress unknowns, or bypass correction governance.
