Open content standards, held in trust.
R8rly.org is the standards custodian for a family of content-integrity frameworks that help readers choose work that fits them, and help authors describe their work precisely — a content vocabulary richer than a single letter grade.
R8rly.org holds these works in trust so they can't be quietly enclosed or sold off. Ownership stays with the steward. Verification and the gamified ratings platform live at r8rly.com.
| Standard | What it does | Who it's for | Repo |
|---|---|---|---|
| SHOW | Classifies the content of a finished work across four axes — Spice · Heat · OMG · WTF | Readers, authors, retailers | R8rly/show |
| VEIL | Declares an author's generation envelope — per-axis ceilings and floors — for AI-assisted creative sessions | Authors using AI, platforms, developers | R8rly/veil |
| SCRIPTS | Rates the experience of a work | Readers, reviewers | R8rly/scripts (coming) |
How they relate: SHOW classifies what a finished work contains. VEIL declares what an AI-assisted session is authorised to produce — using the same S·H·O·W axis vocabulary plus four generation-specific axes (Violence · Explicit · Identity · Language). A work generated under a VEIL envelope should rate at or below its VEIL ceilings when SHOW-classified. SCRIPTS rates the reading experience itself.
VEIL expresses the author's target but never overrides a model's own gating.

The standards and the journals are deliberately licensed differently:

| Journals — documentation & content | CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 | Not granted by default — available by request |
| Journals — code | PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 | Not granted by default — available by request |
The R8rly platform mark and certification badges remain protected and require platform certification.
