Standing description
Long
Orieth Institute is an independent not-for-profit research organization incorporated in Canada in 2026. It studies what forms on the user side of repeated conversations with AI systems, and what a deployed product must record when it changes after launch. Its published work includes USCP, a single-case longitudinal qualitative study of one twenty-month conversation corpus; USCI, a post-interaction review method; and a five-level update grading proposal with governance decision records. The Institute has one director, no paid staff, and no external funding. Nothing it has published has completed peer review.
