YOM Field Policy
Effective: 1 May 2026  ·  Version: 1.0

1. Nature of Ψ Points

YOM Ψ ("Psi") points are a platform-internal contribution metric that represents a user's accumulated intellectual contribution as measured by the ARIA scoring system. Ψ points are not a cryptocurrency, security, financial instrument, or legal tender.

2. Earning Ψ Points

Ψ points are earned through:

  • Asking questions: Points awarded based on ARIA's quality assessment of the question
  • Answering questions: Points awarded based on the Composite Defended Score (CDS) achieved
  • Signing bonus: Ψ10 credited once on first account creation

ARIA's scoring decisions are final for Ψ purposes. There is no formal appeals process for individual score disputes, though we welcome feedback at feedback@engageneering.org.

3. Purchasing Ψ Points

Users may purchase additional Ψ points using INR via Razorpay or international currencies via Stripe at rates published on the platform. All purchases are subject to Razorpay's and Stripe's respective terms of service. Purchased Ψ are non-refundable except where required by applicable consumer law.

4. Spending Ψ Points

Ψ points may be spent on platform features including Ask ARIA (Ψ20 per query). Spent Ψ are non-refundable. If the platform fails to deliver a paid service (e.g., ARIA is unavailable), Ψ will be automatically refunded to your YOM Field.

5. Master Teacher Conversion

Users who reach Master Teacher tier may apply to convert a portion of their earned Ψ to INR at a rate published in the platform. Purchased Ψ are not eligible for conversion. Conversion is subject to KYC verification, applicable tax deductions, and a minimum threshold to be published. Engageneering™ reserves the right to modify conversion rates and eligibility criteria at any time.

6. Forfeiture

Ψ balances may be forfeited in full upon account termination for violation of these Terms. Ψ may not be transferred between accounts. Ψ balances are not inheritable or transferable upon death or incapacitation.

7. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify the Ψ earning rates, spending options, and conversion terms at any time with 30 days' notice to affected users.

ARIA & AI Policy
Effective: 1 May 2026  ·  Version: 1.0

1. What ARIA Is

ARIA (Autonomous Routing & Intelligence Arbiter) is Engageneering™'s proprietary AI assessment system. It evaluates user contributions using multiple specialised agents across five scoring dimensions: Explanation Intelligence (EI), Relevance Index (RI), Relevance-Adjusted Intelligence (RAI), Conceptual Originality Index (COI), and Articulation Index (AI).

2. Limitations of AI Assessment

⚠ AI Limitations Notice: ARIA is an automated system. Like all AI, it may produce assessments that are inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or inconsistent. ARIA scores reflect the system's algorithmic evaluation only and should not be relied upon as definitive judgments of knowledge, competence, or teaching ability.

3. Ask ARIA

The Ask ARIA feature uses the Anthropic Claude API to synthesise answers from platform content. These AI-generated responses:

  • Are generated by an AI model and may contain errors or hallucinations
  • Do not constitute professional advice of any kind
  • Are not reviewed by Engageneering™ staff before delivery
  • Should be treated as a starting point for inquiry, not a definitive answer

4. Data Used for AI Processing

Your questions and answers may be sent to Anthropic's API for processing as part of the Ask ARIA feature. By using Ask ARIA, you consent to this processing in accordance with Anthropic's privacy policy. We do not use your personal data to train AI models without your explicit consent.

5. Bias and Fairness

We are committed to ongoing monitoring of ARIA for systemic bias across language, topic, culture, and user demographics. If you believe ARIA has assessed your contribution unfairly due to language, cultural context, or topic area, please contact aria@engageneering.org.

6. Human Oversight

Engageneering™ reserves the right to manually review, adjust, or override any ARIA assessment in cases of apparent system error, user complaint, or legal necessity. Manual overrides are recorded and logged.
