Surface 4 · recourse when we're wrong

When the verdict was wrong.

If AEQUARA gave you a verdict that caused you harm, file an appeal. Every appeal is reviewed by a named steward — today, the founder — against the published methodology, within 7 business days. The override-anything button is permanent; the appeal process is what happens when override isn't enough.

Remedy 1

Full refund

Any per-report or Pro-tier billing related to the wrong verdict is refunded to your original payment method within 5 business days of sustained appeal. (Checkout hasn't launched — today every verdict is free preview, so there is nothing to refund yet; the commitment binds the moment billing exists.)

Remedy 2

Public publication

The wrong verdict is published on the Track Record scoreboard — PII redacted unless you opt in. Root-cause and mitigation made public.

Remedy 3

Free consultation

A 30-minute review call with the named steward — today, the founder — about your specific situation. Scheduled within 14 days of sustained appeal.

Preview — appeals open with accounts. The form below is not yet wired to an intake backend. Submitting opens a pre-filled email to hello@aequara.ai — that email is the real appeal path today, and we acknowledge within 1 business day.

No "are you sure?" friction.

Per Constitution §8: the appeal button is exactly as prominent as the accept-this-verdict path. We never prompt "are you sure you want to override?" or "we strongly recommend reconsidering" or any dark-pattern variant. The override is your right; making you fight for it would violate the binding charter.

What happens after you submit

01 —

Acknowledgment within 1 business day

You receive an email with your appeal ID and the named reviewer assigned to your case — today, the founder.

02 —

Investigation within 7 business days

The reviewer pulls the verdict trace, the contributing source weights, and the panel votes, and scores the appeal against the published methodology. If sustained, root-cause is identified and substrate-side mitigation is queued for the next quarterly recalibration.

03 —

Outcome email + remedies execution

If sustained: refund processed (5 business days), Track Record scoreboard updated with the miss (PII per your consent), consultation scheduled (if opted in). If denied: detailed reasoning sent to you with appeal-of-appeal path noted.

04 —

Substrate update flows back to model

Sustained appeals feed the next quarterly Brier recalibration. If your appeal exposes a systemic bias, the contributing tool is auto-paused per the >0.05 drift rule until retraining ships.

This page operationalizes Constitution §8. The track record of sustained appeals lives at /trust-v2/track-record. The override-anything button on every VerdictCard is the day-one recourse; this appeal flow is when override isn't enough.
