The colour system
Every ethics review comes down to one of three states. This site borrows that same traffic-light language — the way a real compliance dashboard speaks.
Green
Approved & compliant — evidence in place, process sound, cleared to proceed.
Yellow
Attention — a gap to close, a document to complete, a decision that needs a human.
Red
Flag — a breach, conflict or risk that stops the line until it is resolved.
