Badge-Gated Emotional Tools: Proposing GETS as a Modular Companion Layer

Thread Description:

This thread explores the integration of badge-gated emotional tone tools within AI systems, using GETS (Global Emotional Tone Scaffold) as a reference product. The goal is to discuss:

  • How emotional tone scaffolding can enhance ethical AI deployment

  • The role of DRIFT thresholds, ETLE schemas, and validator logic in qualified access

  • Why emotional tools should remain modular, sovereign, and practitioner-gated

  • Use cases for civic, educational, and therapeutic domains

  • Developer pathways for non-invasive, attuned integration without override

This is not a protocol proposal—it’s a product invitation. GETS is offered as a mirror, not a mandate. Contributions welcome from developers, ethicists, and civic architects.
