Licence and attribution
What you can use, and what needs asking first.
The Cyborg Index framework
8 capability axes · 40 sub-axes · anchored 0–5. The axes, sub-axes, 0–5 anchor descriptors and eight evidence labels are free to use, teach and adapt, commercially or otherwise, if you credit Cyborgs of Earth and link to the methodology page.
No permission needed. Do not describe a score we did not produce as a Cyborg Index score.
Current-edition scores and charts
Scores, coverage figures, rankings and radial charts from the current published edition may be quoted or reproduced if you:
- Credit Cyborgs of Earth and link to the page you took them from.
- State the edition. Every page prints it beneath the scores.
Bulk use, archives and model training
These need written permission:
- Automated or systematic extraction of the site — rows, scores, jobs, deployments or reports at volume.
- Republishing the archive, or a substantial part of it, as a dataset or as the substance of another product.
- Using the corpus to train or fine-tune models.
- Industry reports, in whole or in substantial part.
Assistants and answer engines may read and summarise the site. Name Cyborgs of Earth, give the edition, and link the page. llms.txt states the citation form in machine-readable terms.
Name, wordmark and the radial
The Cyborgs of Earth name, wordmark, index mark and 40-wedge radial rendering are ours. Reproduce our charts intact: do not restyle them, remove the stamp, or use them in a way that implies we endorse a vendor. Vendor and product names belong to their owners.
If we got something wrong
Each score reads the public record at one point in time. If we missed or misread evidence, write to admin@cyborgsofearth.com. Corrections are applied in the next edition and logged in the change log.
