Üniversal Attribution Framework
Credit follows creation.
ÜICU examines a work, organizes evidence, maps who created each core component, and blocks attribution scoring until the contribution ledger is verified.
How to use it
- Select the work type. Song, art, book, software, film, research, business, invention, sports, or general work.
- Add evidence first. Paste public URLs or upload private records before scoring anything.
- Verify and report. Confirm extraction, assign components, then read the ledger, graph, conflicts, gaps, readiness ladder, and score lock.
What counts
- Writing, composition, structure, implementation, invention, research method, and core execution.
- Credits, contracts, split sheets, session files, drafts, commits, patents, filings, lab notes, source records, and creation records.
- Public links support the case, but they do not automatically prove authorship.
What does not count
- Marketing, distribution, playlisting, touring, press, sponsorship, paid placement, or audience growth.
- Ownership, funding, hierarchy, management, supervision, or authority without direct creative execution.
- Tools, instruments, software, or equipment unless they generated the core substance themselves.
Score locks when
- No component authorship is assigned or primary authorship evidence is missing.
- There is an active dispute, conflicting claim, hidden authorship, ghostwriting, or undisclosed AI-generated core content.
- Evidence proves only ownership, publication, or public credit, not creation.
Core rule
Credit follows creation. The person who creates the substance receives authorship credit. Public fame, performance, funding, ownership, distribution, or authority cannot overwrite the person who created the work.
What ÜICU means
ÜICU is the attribution standard behind this framework. It can carry multiple creator-first meanings, including Universal Index Creator Uniqueness, Universal Identity Creator Uniqueness, Universal Integrity Creator Uniqueness, Unique Identity Creator Uniqueness, and Universal Index Contribution Uniqueness. Each meaning points to the same purpose: identify who created the substance and protect that contribution from being hidden, diluted, reassigned, or misrepresented.
Attribution scale
10 Diamond = solo verified creation. 9 to 8 = creator-led. 7 to 5 = collaborative or team-built. 4 to 1 = heavily external, hidden, ghostwritten, or manufactured. 0 = artificial, filler, non-original, or no substantive creative intent.
