-# CIVICVS — Preamble
-
-**CIVICVS** derives from the Latin *civis* — *citizen*.  
-In classical inscriptions, Latin had no lowercase letters, and the character **V** carried the sound of both “U” and “V.”  
-
-Thus, the historically authentic rendering is **CIVICVS**, while the domain name `civicus.us` reflects the modern, anglicized form.
-
-This distinction illustrates the practice of a **Civic Analyst**:
-
-- **Start with the record** as it truly is, not as we wish it to be.  
-- Respect **linguistic and historical accuracy**, while also recognizing modern conventions.  
-- Make the **reasoning process transparent**, so every choice can be explained and audited.  
-

-
-## Purpose
-
-The purpose of CIVICVS is the **defense and restoration of civic knowledge** by establishing a new professional role, complementary to journalism: the **Civic Analyst**.
-
-- Journalism often emphasizes speed, narrative, and credentialism.  
-- The Civic Analyst emphasizes **context, authenticity, and independence**.

-## Three Bedrock Commitments
-
-1. **Context over Narrative**  
-   Evidence without context devolves into propaganda.  
-   The Civic Analyst situates every claim with the context required to interpret it fairly.
-
-2. **Authenticity over Credentialism**  
-   Truth is not validated by credentials alone.  
-   The Civic Analyst examines the record itself, regardless of status or institution.
-
-3. **Independence over Alignment**  
-   Independence safeguards against capture.  
-   The Civic Analyst resists partisanship, remaining accountable only to the civic record.

-*This Preamble sets the foundation: CIVICVS is both a framework for machines and a compass for humans, guiding how we record, interpret, and defend civic knowledge.*
