Compliance · Te Tiriti

Te Tiriti statement.

assembl is built in Aotearoa. We treat Te Tiriti o Waitangi as a product responsibility, not a decorative line in the footer.

Rangatiratanga

People and communities should retain control over decisions that affect them. assembl agents draft; named humans decide.

Kaitiakitanga

Data, evidence, and cultural knowledge are treated as taonga requiring care, stewardship, and clear permission boundaries.

Manaakitanga

Tools should reduce burden without creating hidden pressure. We design for usefulness, dignity, and respectful handoff.

Whanaungatanga

Workflows should make relationships visible: who asked, who reviewed, who signs, who is affected, and who needs to be told.

Product gates

We will not ship iwi-co-authored or Māori-public-sector specific surfaces without the right conversations, permissions, and review relationships. Public Assembly remains pilot-preview only until the Māori-elder and iwi sponsorship gate has happened.

MEADS-alignment posture

assembl is not claiming formal MEADS certification. Our current posture is alignment-by-design: data minimisation, source visibility, human approval, clear governance, and cultural review before sensitive product surfaces are promoted.

Truth before polish

We will say what is live, what is pilot-ready, and what still needs review. Where a tool touches whakapapa, whānau, tamariki, iwi relationships, welfare, justice, or health, the care bar is higher.
