# GMRI Methodology v1.0 — cryptographic commitment # # This file is a permanent timestamped commitment to the exact contents of the # GMRI Methodology v1.0 document. The hash below is computed via SHA-256 on the # canonical document file `GMRI_Methodology_v1.0.md`. # # Purpose: prior-art protection. By publishing this hash on the TrueSource Metals # Hub website on 15 June 2026 (UTC) we commit to a specific methodology content # without revealing the full document. When the document is later published in # full, its SHA-256 must match the value below — otherwise the document has been # modified after the commitment date. # # How to verify (when the full document is later released): # sha256sum GMRI_Methodology_v1.0.md # # The output must equal the SHA-256 value below. algorithm: SHA-256 file: GMRI_Methodology_v1.0.md size_bytes: 14056 lines: 174 sha256: 0241951000a0d97bbf292aa19b3d534680526f0e17bf3e549c1bda2377308eee sha512: 4b7cca4ab22974220ff9b05bdd9b609efa87dbf3b0ea9f35a20f6f1873dd48b0020a15f46d53636c1521572ee24f974cf0cec131757c7859b48d082555f4d37f committed_at: 2026-06-15T17:30:00Z committed_by: TrueSource Metals (TSM-Hub-AK) commit_url: https://www.truesourcemetals.com/data/gmri/methodology-v1.0.sha256.txt # Document scope (what the hashed file contains, public summary): # - Section 1: GMRI Identity (name, base date, base value, governance) # - Section 2: Index Family (6 live members + 10 methodology slots) # - Section 3: Eligible Universe (constituent inclusion rules) # - Section 4: Weighting Schemes (cap-weight, EW, issuer-cap CAP20) # - Section 5: Index Formula # - Section 6: Rebalancing & Reconstitution # - Section 7: Data Sources & Verification # - Section 8: Honesty Rules (slot threshold N>=3, no invented numbers) # - Section 9: Versioning Policy # # Prior-art assertion: # On 15 June 2026 TrueSource Metals registers the following GMRI sub-index # codes and definitions, as fixed within the hashed document: # GMRI, GMRI-EW, GMRI-CAP20, GMRI-AU, GMRI-PRE, GMRI-NONAU (6 live) # GMRI-BASE, GMRI-BTR, GMRI-FE, GMRI-CRT, GMRI-FA, GMRI-LT, # GMRI-MN, GMRI-REF, GMRI-STL, GMRI-JUR (10 slots) # # Independent witnesses for this commitment: # - git history: TSM-Hub-AK/tsm-website (commit immediately following file creation) # - Cloudflare Pages deployment log # - Wayback Machine snapshot (submitted same day; URL recorded separately) # # Future steps (post-commitment): # - OpenTimestamps proof (Bitcoin blockchain anchor) when v1.0 PDF is published # - Public HTML rendering at /gmri/methodology/ # - Trademark applications (CH Swissreg, EUIPO, WIPO Madrid) for "GMRI", # "Global Metals RWA Index", and sub-index codes
