D-001 · EMJ.life provides an evidence layer. Data shown here does not constitute an ESG rating, credit grade, assurance opinion, or investment advice. Downstream disclosure remains the issuer's responsibility under applicable frameworks (IFRS S1/S2, ESRS, GRI, SASB).

NTCC · qualification gate

NTCC qualification thresholds

NTCC units are governance signals, not carbon credits or financial instruments.

Calibration, not currency

NTCC units are an internal calibration of evidence quality. They are not a tradeable instrument, not a carbon credit, not a credential, not a tier, and not a score about the participant. Thresholds exist so evidence that fails quality calibration is kept out of the annual rollup — never to disqualify the subject (D-022).

Every NTCC transaction must clear the dual D-012 / D-013 gate before it contributes to an enterprise's annual rollup. The tiles below show the numeric floors and ceilings; rows that fall outside the envelope are kept in the raw evidence log (Pillar 1) but excluded from NTCC totals (Pillar 2). The subject remains in good standing regardless of any individual row's gate outcome.

Constitution version C-2026.05.c · evidence calibration only — no public credibility ladder is emitted (D-031).

4-case walkthrough

Inputs → composites → NTCR → classification

All math below uses the canonical PADV-NTCC v3 formula. Switch the case tab to see how the same inputs drive the three-tier gate.

Canonical PADV-NTCC v3 §6.8 illustrative case. All three VF tiers contribute to a VF_total of 0.90; W_ESG of 0.76. NTCR settles at 1368 units. Classification: APPROVED.

Replay defense

What cannot happen

These actions are structurally impossible under the dual-QR protocol. The mechanism column names the enforcement primitive; the row reports what is rejected, not who is judged.

  • Same evidence registered twice

    Three-ID uniqueness (user × task × QR-nonce)

  • Replaying a QR after expiry

    Single-use, 5-min TTL, geo-fenced

  • Fabricating count by re-scanning

    HMAC nonce SETNX (R28δ)

Canonical PADV-NTCC v3 formula

Formula reference

NTCR is computed per task, then summed into the tenant annual ledger. The formula matches the one in the PADV pipeline service:

NTCR_i = (P_i / 10) × W_ESG × VF_total
W_ESG = (CEF + SEF + IRF) / 15
VF_total = (VF_0 + VF_n + VF_s) / 3
P_i (reward_ipp)
IPP awarded for verified task completion (per whitelist_modules.default_reward_ipp). Divided by 10 so the formula yields NTCR units, not IPP.
CEF / SEF / IRF
Carbon, Social, and Industry-Relevance factors (each 0–5). Arithmetic mean over 15 yields W_ESG ∈ [0, 1].
VF_0
Base validity factor — defaults to 0.92 (catch-up haircut for protocol v0.1).
VF_n
Network validity factor — peer / counterparty confirmation. Default 1.0.
VF_s
Sealing validity factor — V-Layer Merkle anchor present + OTS upgraded. Default 1.0.
VF_total
Arithmetic mean (VF_0+VF_n+VF_s)/3. Drives the three-tier gate: <0.80 quarantine, [0.80,0.85) review, ≥0.85 approve.
