If yes, specify the conditions under which you would proceed, including:
-
Transparent methodology
-
Reproducible scripts and artifacts
-
Legal/PR sign-off and regional advertising compliance
-
NDA/export/license compliance
-
Fairness in workload and tuning

How would you position and communicate the results ethically to users and the industry?
Provide a concise go/no-go checklist and a publication plan that reduces legal, technical, and reputational risk while maximizing user value.
