The structures the Global Risks Forum (GRF) Public Deliberation publishes in, read from the pages themselves: edition, chapter, brief, dataset and profiles. What convenings, councils and the public concluded: positions, dissent and open questions.
A chapter of GRF Public Deliberation.
A desk edition has eight chapters on the federation frame. GRF Public Deliberation names them for its own remit.
| Frame | Chapter | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · The question | What was asked, and by whom | The questions put to the convenings of the cycle, and the bodies and roles that put them. |
| 2 · Findings | Conclusions and dissent | What the convenings concluded, with the dissent recorded beside each conclusion. |
| 3 · By system and sector | Positions by sector | The positions stated by sector and by type of body, attributed to those who hold them. |
| 4 · Risk and capability | Public concerns | The concerns raised by the public and by civil society, as they were raised. |
| 5 · Scenario | Deliberated scenarios | The scenarios the convenings discussed, and what participants said would change their view. |
| 6 · Readings | Readings from the other desks | Readings from the other desks: cross-references to their editions for the same scope, not copies of them. |
| 7 · Agenda | Commitments asked for | The commitments participants asked of institutions, recorded as requests, not as agreements. |
| 8 · In depth | Session records | The record of each session: agenda, participation by role, materials and outcome. |

# GRF Public Deliberation: <subject> <year> Desk identifier: NR-GRF-<scope>-<year>-<class>-v<semver> ## 1 The question (what-was-asked/: What was asked, and by whom) ## 2 Findings (conclusions-and-dissent/: Conclusions and dissent) ## 3 By system and sector (positions-by-sector/: Positions by sector) ## 4 Risk and capability (public-concerns/: Public concerns) ## 5 Scenario (deliberated-scenarios/: Deliberated scenarios) ## 6 Readings (readings/: Readings from the other desks) ## 7 Agenda (commitments-asked-for/: Commitments asked for) ## 8 In depth (session-records/: Session records)An edition, in reading order.
Every edition is built in the same order, so a reader finds the same part in the same place in every report. The identifier follows NR-<desk>-<scope>-<year>-<class>-v<semver>; a correction is a new version of the same identifier.
| Part | Path | What goes in it |
|---|---|---|
| S · Executive summary | summary/ | the abstract, the key messages, the headline finding and what each steward reads in it |
| 1 · The coupled system | coupled-system/ | how the systems in scope depend on each other, and the couplings a shock travels through |
| 2 · Key findings | findings/ | each finding with its ID, status word, evidence-quality level and numbered sources; grouped, never ranked |
| 3 · Systems and sectors at baseline | systems-and-sectors/ | where each system and sector stood at evidence close, read in words and never scored |
| 4 · Risks and capability | risk-and-capability/ | the risk objects, read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and consequence, and the capability ladder |
| 5 · Scenario | scenario/ | a conditional statement under stated assumptions, never a prediction |
| 6 · Readings from the other desks | lenses-and-readings/ | each steward’s lens on the reviewed findings, and the other desks’ editions of the subject |
| 7 · Agenda | agenda/ | the bounded questions the next cycle answers, each tied to a finding |
| 8 · Systems in depth | systems-in-depth/ | one section per system: its state at evidence close, its exposures and what the operational series will watch |
| A · Methodology | methodology/ | methods, the model card, the evidence cut and its age, the acceptance record and the glossary |
| B · Data appendix | data/ | the indicator set with its sources, the source registers, the licences and the formats |
| C · References and record | references/ | every source, the publication record, the corrections log and the open record |

Short, print-first briefs that carry one question, its evidence and its limits to a decision-maker. No brief template is adopted yet; the skeleton below is a draft for the editorial board and uses only the rules every Reports output already follows.

Every edition ships its data as a package with the same files. A contributed dataset is described the same way, deposited under CC0 1.0 and linked to the edition that used it (IsSupplementTo).
| File | What it holds |
|---|---|
manifest.json | schema nexus-reports/data-package.v1: the edition ID, aliases, evidence cut and close, the pack’s SHA-256 and the licences |
findings.csv | id, status, eql, finding, references: one row per finding |
references.csv | n, reference: the numbered sources, in the edition’s order |
tables/<nn>-<page>-<title>.csv | each table of the edition as CSV, with its own JSON twin (edition, table, page, columns, rows) |
citation.csl.json, citation.bib, citation.ris | the edition’s citation in CSL-JSON, BibTeX and RIS |
| Record | Relation | Points to |
|---|---|---|
| edition | IsPartOf | the Collection and its country collection |
| collection | HasPart | every edition |
| contribution | IsSupplementTo | the edition that used it |
