Governance.

Governance protects the index, not daily price movement.

UNPT governance should focus on the integrity of the CSI: metric weights, data sources, methodology updates, validation rules and protocol upgrades.

UNPT governance covers CSI weights, source selection, methodology, validation rules and protocol upgrades. Published proposal rules must state which parameters can change, the approval path and the resulting record. Governance cannot directly set a daily token price or alter the fixed supply.

Governance can refine CSI inputs and methodology.

A calm control-framework diagram with the CSI composite index at the centre inside a transparent green governance ring, four refinable parameters arranged on the ring's axes, and three padlocked restricted actions sitting outside the ring.
The governance ring lets stewards refine metric weights, data sources, methodology and reporting cadence, while direct price override, forced supply change and arbitrary peg control remain locked beyond its reach.
