Terms of use

These terms describe the conditions for accessing and using the DoomBench website, its editorial index, and its supporting evidence pages.

Editorial information, not a prediction

DoomBench is an informational and editorial publication. The Doom Index and model scores are qualitative judgments, not probabilities, guarantees, scientific forecasts, or professional advice. You are responsible for evaluating the sources, methodology, and uncertainty before relying on any assessment.

Sources, accuracy, and revisions

DoomBench aims to identify sources and explain its scoring decisions, but news, model information, links, and assessments may be incomplete, delayed, disputed, or revised. Historical scores may change when evidence is backfilled or reassessed. Third-party content remains the responsibility of its publisher.

Permitted use

You may access and reference the public site for lawful purposes. You must not:

Interfere with the operation, security, or availability of the service.
Attempt unauthorized access to administrative, ingestion, or data systems.
Misrepresent DoomBench scores as objective probabilities or official findings.
Use the site in a way that violates the rights of others or applicable rules.

Discussion contributions

Public discussion contributions must be lawful, relevant, and made in good faith. Do not post personal, confidential, classified, illegally obtained, threatening, deceptive, or abusive material. Do not coordinate votes or use automation to manipulate discussion ranking. DoomBench may hide or archive contributions that violate these terms while retaining moderation and audit records.

Comments and votes are reader contributions. They are not DoomBench editorial findings and do not automatically alter evidence, model profiles, or scores.

Signed-in visitors are responsible for activity performed through their verified DoomBench email account. Keep one-time codes and active sessions private.

Site content

The DoomBench name, original presentation, scoring commentary, and site design are protected content. Source publications, company names, model names, and third-party marks belong to their respective owners. A link or attribution does not imply endorsement by DoomBench or the cited party.

Availability and responsibility

The site is provided as available without a promise that it will always be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for a particular purpose. To the extent permitted by applicable rules, DoomBench is not responsible for decisions, losses, or claims arising from reliance on the site or an external source.

Features, scores, sources, and these terms may change. Continued use after an update means you accept the current terms shown on this page.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions about this page

Short answers to common questions about the page, its evidence, and the limits of what DoomBench claims.

Is the Doom Index professional advice?

No. It is an editorial research signal and is not financial, legal, employment, investment, security, or other professional advice.

What am I responsible for when contributing?

You are responsible for submitting lawful, relevant material that you are authorized to share. Do not post abuse, impersonation, confidential information, or content that creates avoidable harm.

How does DoomBench handle corrections?

Readers can submit corrections or stronger sources. Accepted changes are recorded through revision-aware editorial workflows rather than silently rewriting the historical assessment.

Who is responsible for external sources?

External sites and publications remain responsible for their own content, availability, and terms. A DoomBench link or citation does not imply ownership or endorsement of everything at that source.
