EYQA® · The Narrative Defensibility Platform™ Stage I — Validation

Establish the evidentiary baseline

Validation assesses your narrative against a defined evidence structure and produces the documented evidentiary record. It is required for a Defensibility Rating; recommended for a Scrutiny Profile.

Not yet stress-tested? Run a free Narrative Stress-Test first — five minutes, 27 scenarios, no cost. It surfaces exposure signals across the same six dimensions used here.

What Validation is
A structured review, not a score

Validation examines whether your narrative's claims are supported, where evidence is thin, and where exposure points sit. It does not award a Rating — it establishes the documented evidentiary baseline that a Rating later depends on.

Assessed across six dimensions: Evidence · Logic · Perspective · Risk Awareness · Contextual Fit · Actionability

What to expect

Submission

Submit a narrative overview with supporting proof points and evidence links. Initial acknowledgment within 3–5 business days. Standard review cycle: 2–4 weeks.

Outcome

Narratives meeting the threshold are eligible for publication in the EYQA Validation Gallery and qualify for a Defensibility Rating at Stage II. Narratives that do not meet the threshold receive a documented assessment explaining where evidence is required.

Cost

Initial Validation is offered at no fee. One narrative per organisation.

Submit for Validation

Publication eligibility is determined by documented evidentiary criteria. Submission does not guarantee a positive outcome.
