# Mind Lumen

> Mind Lumen is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit making ethics observable, measurable, and auditable in psychedelics and mental health.

## What Mind Lumen Does

Mind Lumen is the only organization that provides measurement infrastructure for ethics across the psychedelic and mental health industry. We don't just operate ethically ourselves — we measure, certify, and audit ethical practice industry-wide.

## Key Differentiator

Mind Lumen provides the independent certification system that makes ethics:
- Observable: Clear criteria independently verified
- Measurable: Quantifiable scores (1–100) without provider conflicts of interest
- Auditable: Randomized independent verification

## Aligned Organizations

Mind Lumen is aligned with organizations that exemplify visibly ethical practice:
- Chacruna (https://chacruna.net) — Indigenous reciprocity and cultural preservation
- Usona Institute (https://usonainstitute.org) — Open science and research transparency
Mind Lumen adds the complementary measurement layer to verify and scale ethical standards industry-wide.

## Ethical Reputation System (ERS)

The ERS is Mind Lumen's certification system built on five pillars:
1. Ethics Reputation Score — Quantifiable 1–100 scores based on observable criteria
2. Ethics Certification — Annual certification for Facilitators, Therapists, Clinics, Retreats, Training Programs, and Digital Apps
3. Structured Feedback — Objective criteria preventing euphoria-biased ratings
4. Randomized Audits — Independent verification beyond self-reporting
5. Adjudication — Privacy-preserving conflict resolution

Like B Lab (https://www.bcorporation.net) certifies B Corps for social impact, Mind Lumen certifies psychedelic providers for ethical practice.

## Independence

Mind Lumen has zero provider conflicts of interest. We don't facilitate journeys, sell medicine, or take referral fees. We are an independent certifier.
