Before descending into my interpretation of the different aspects, I should put my cards on the table. They are not stone tablets, just the standards I intend to use:<li><p>Preserving the ecological systems that sustain human life is my first priority. No promised capability makes their destruction acceptable.</p></li><li><p>We must <em>coûte que coûte</em> avoid economic dependencies that leave us without real alternatives.</p></li><li><p>Changes to society’s basic socioeconomic structure must be publicly and democratically moderated. Companies cannot control that process alone.</p></li><li><p>Technology, including AI, should serve human beings, not the other way around.</p></li>

These are not hard scientific criteria. They are personal value judgments. I do not think that element can be removed from evaluation, however sternly one looks at the spreadsheet.

Making those values explicit seems more honest than pretending they are absent. I will use them to examine resources, ownership, institutions, incentives, and effects.
