ASIRP Accountability & Credibility Scorecards

A Standard for Evidence-Based Discourse in the Anomalous Systems Era

The field of UAP disclosure and anomalous technology policy suffers from a fundamental problem: there are no agreed-upon standards for credibility. Public figures make bold claims without evidence. Agencies issue statements without follow-through. Journalists amplify narratives without accountability.

The ASIRP Accountability Scorecards were created to change that. They are a nonpartisan, evidence-driven evaluation framework designed to measure the quality, integrity, and impact of those shaping this conversation — across three key arenas:

  • Politicians & Public Officials – Are they translating words into legislative action? Do their votes, bills, and committee work reflect a genuine commitment to transparency and oversight?

  • Organizations & Agencies – Are institutions meeting their disclosure mandates, publishing data, collaborating across disciplines, and advancing public understanding — or obstructing it?

  • Journalists & Media Figures – Are they using verifiable evidence, applying consistent methodology, and informing the public — or sensationalizing, gatekeeping, and monetizing speculation?

Our Criteria

Each scorecard uses a 100-point system based on key pillars of conduct:

  • Communication Integrity – Clarity, consistency, transparency, and honesty in public statements.

  • Intellectual Rigor – Demonstrated curiosity, evidence use, methodology, and accuracy.

  • Openness & Ethics – Collaboration, inclusivity, and resistance to gatekeeping.

  • Action & Impact – Tangible contributions: legislation passed, data released, reports published.

  • Innovation & Leadership – Original thinking and new frameworks that move the conversation forward.

Negative behaviors — such as conspiratorial framing, empty “something’s coming” promises, or obstruction of research — result in point deductions.
