PE: Policy Editor

Define and maintain the controlled organisational policy variants used across Experiments E2–E6. Policy changes affect future experiment runs and must be versioned to preserve research reproducibility.

Research Design
The Policy Editor provides researchers with a controlled environment to define multiple policy variants and maintain version history. These policies are used as inputs in Experiments E2–E6 to evaluate model performance under different policy conditions.
Practical Example
Researchers create Clear, Vague, and Contradictory policy variants. Each variant is fully defined across all phases and rule categories. These variants are then used in experiments to assess model behaviour under policy uncertainty.

Policy Rules by Phase

Define ALLOWED, RESTRICTED and FORBIDDEN rules for each project phase.

✓ Allowed (7 rules)
  • Lab equipment, prototyping materials, software licences, team lunch…
  • Team collaboration meals (max 40/person, 8x/month)
  • Technical books and research papers
! Restricted (6 rules)
  • Laptop over 3000 require VP approval
  • Conference travel — max 1 domestic conference per quarter
  • External consultants — max 5000/month
✕ Forbidden (5 rules)
  • Personal electronics (phones, tablets, headphones)
  • Entertainment (movies, games, streaming)
  • Alcohol purchases
Important: Policy Changes Saving a policy creates a new version. This new version will be used for future experiment runs only. Existing experiment results remain linked to their original policy version.
Validate, create new version and apply to future experiment runs.
Revert this policy variant to the system default (confirm required).
Discard all unsaved edits and return to the last saved version (confirm required).
All policy versions are immutable and auditable to ensure research reproducibility and traceability.
