Ethical framework

The Sieve

Three lenses, scored independently, reconciled into a decision you can audit. Outcome, duty and practice, with practice counted as a co-equal constraint rather than a footnote.

Why three lenses and not two

Most ethical frameworks give you outcome and duty. The Sieve adds a pragmatic lens as a co-equal constraint, not a footnote: a plan that produces excellent outcomes and respects every duty but cannot survive implementation is not a good plan. That is the reason this framework is usable rather than aspirational.

What it produces

Each lens scores independently, one to ten, and a synthesis step reconciles them into PROCEED, HALT or REVISE. When lenses conflict the synthesis requires judgment, and the structure makes that visible rather than hiding it. The output is an audit trail, which is the point.

Domain invariance

The three questions do not change when the domain changes, only the content of the answers. That is what makes it a framework rather than a house rule.

Run a decision through it

Pick a dilemma and watch the three lenses evaluate it independently before the decision resolves.
