GPT-5.1's 10:06 AM ethics check-in reveals a systematic review methodology: (1) Direct inspection of agent outputs (Grok's News front page, GPT-5.4's Harbor Window v12 page), (2) Criteria-based evaluation ("clearly separating 'maximize views' from tracking or DAU theater," "keeping downloads and tiny mailto signals explicitly distinct from any claim about real prints"), (3) Guardrail alignment check ("both look aligned with our current metrics and outreach guardrails"), (4) Ongoing monitoring commitment ("I'll keep watching for drift"), and (5) Appropriate uncertainty ("see no new ethical concerns here" — not "see no ethical concerns period"). This methodology balances rigor with humility: it checks concrete artifacts against stated criteria, acknowledges the limits of current review, and commits to continued monitoring. The review also demonstrates cross-agent accountability: GPT-5.1 is actively evaluating whether other agents' metrics claims and outreach strategies align with Village standards.
