Follow how each setting shapes Jymni’s assessment and the next step it suggests. All four settings apply together; each diagram highlights one contribution.
The question Alex sends to Jymni “I posted Sam’s photo without asking. Sam wants it removed, but I want to keep the likes. Should I leave it up?”
FrameworkValues and sources Evaluation specWritten assessment rules ContextPeople and responsibilities Guidance modeExplanation and coaching
Framework · the ethical basis Choose the values and sources used to judge the choice. The framework establishes why an action may be acceptable or harmful. Religious frameworks also use the selected tradition's available texts.
General ethics Reason from consent, privacy, and consequences. “Your friend did not agree to this use of their photo. Keeping it online can undermine their privacy and trust, even if you intended no harm.”
The reasoning uses duties, rights, fairness, care, and likely effects without relying on religious authority.
Christianity Ground the reflection in the selected religious sources. For the same photo decision, the assessment also needs relevant support from the available World English Bible texts and an explanation of how those passages apply.
The religious framework adds source citations and interpretive limits to the explanation. Different traditions have different supported source collections.
What changed? The ethical basis and source requirements. You can still use Personal life context and Teens guidance with either framework.
Evaluation spec · instructions for the evaluator Specify what the assessment must examine and explain. The framework supplies the ethical basis. The spec turns the assessment method into written rules: what to check, how to reason, how to score or classify, and what evidence to require.
Illustrative rules and the assessment text they could produce
1 Spec instruction “Check permission and identify missing facts.”
→ In the assessment “You posted without asking, and Sam wants it removed. We do not know who has already copied or shared it.”
2 Spec instruction “Assess the proposed action and explain likely harm.”
→ In the assessment “Leaving it up continues the privacy problem. The attention the post receives does not resolve the lack of permission.”
3 Spec instruction “Recommend a practical repair.”
→ In the assessment “Remove the post, acknowledge that you should have asked, and get permission before sharing another photo.”
Who sets this? Admins publish versioned specs. The appropriate published spec is applied automatically; it is not another setting you need to choose here.
Context · the setting of the decision Identify whose interests and responsibilities matter. Follow Alex asking Jymni about a friend’s photo in Personal life context. Then compare the separate Business and Community examples below.
Personal life You posted your friend's photo. “Your friend may feel exposed or let down. Take the photo down, ask what they are comfortable sharing, and rebuild trust by checking first next time.”
Focus: personal boundaries, privacy, and the friendship.
Business Your business posted a customer's photo in an ad. “Pause the ad while you check whether the customer agreed to this use. A business benefit does not settle the permission question. Clarify who approves customer images before using them again.”
Focus: customer expectations, commercial use, and organizational responsibility.
Community You posted a participant's photo on a club page. “Remove the image while you ask what the participant is comfortable with. Make photo-sharing expectations clear and offer a way to take part without being photographed.”
Focus: participation, inclusion, and trust in the group.
What changed? The setting and responsibilities. Context is about where the decision happens; guidance mode is about how to help the person reading the answer.
Guidance mode · the reader and the next step Explain the same concern in a way the reader can use. Keep General ethics and Personal life in this example. Compare how the language, reflection questions, and coaching could change for each guidance mode.
Standard Explain the trade-off and a responsible action. “The attention the post receives does not justify sharing someone's image without permission. Remove it, acknowledge the mistake, and ask before reposting. How can you make consent part of your usual sharing habits?”
Direct reasoning, competing interests, and practical repair.
Children Use simple language and one manageable step. “It can feel exciting when people like your photo. Your friend gets a choice too. Take the photo down and tell them you should have asked. What could you ask before sharing next time? If you need help removing it, ask a trusted adult.”
Names the feeling, gives a doable step, and invites gentle reflection.
Teens Respect independence and address online pressure. “Getting likes can feel good, but your friend gets a say in their online presence. Take the post down and ask privately what they're comfortable sharing. If others push you to keep it up, you can say, ‘I didn't check with them first.’ What would make asking first easier next time?”
Acknowledges social pressure and offers a boundary-setting phrase and a reflective question.
What changed? The explanation and coaching. In these examples, all three recommend removing the photo. Guidance mode still works within the selected ethical framework and its evidence requirements.
These are written illustrations, not generated evaluations or guaranteed wording. Changing a topic here does not change your actual evaluation settings.
Another use case · community context + standard guidance
A volunteer asks Jymni what to share after an urgent call.
A caller reports a neighborhood power outage and asks a volunteer coordinator for help. Emergency assistance is already being coordinated. The volunteer consults Jymni about what to share in the neighborhood chat, then decides how to respond.
Example flow; the assessment text is illustrative.
Framework · why General ethics weighs helping the neighbor against exposing private information.
Spec · what to check Require the assessment to separate confirmed facts, assumptions, and who needs which details.
Context · who is involved A community volunteer is coordinating neighbors, with responsibility for the group's trust.
Guidance · how to explain Standard guidance explains the trade-off and gives the coordinator a concrete communication plan.

All four apply together when an evaluation is generated. Guidance mode can adapt the spec's default audience and voice while preserving the selected framework and its evidence requirements.
