How to use Takedown Decision Score and understand its results
- Prepare the text, recorded observations, aligned figures or editorial criteria requested. Confirm what each label, count, timestamp or supplied flag represents before interpreting the result.
- Enter verifiedFactualError, imminentSafetyHarm, privacyViolation, strongPublicInterest, canCorrectInPlace using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read removalPressureScore, retentionValueScore, recommendedDecision. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| verifiedFactualError | Verified factual error | boolean | Required |
| imminentSafetyHarm | Imminent safety harm | boolean | Required |
| privacyViolation | Privacy violation | boolean | Required |
| strongPublicInterest | Strong public interest | boolean | Required |
| canCorrectInPlace | Can correct in place | boolean | Required |
Enter the five flags. Return both scores and recommendation: safety risk removes first; otherwise privacy with higher removal score restricts; factual error that is correctable corrects; higher removal score removes; remaining cases retain.
