Consensus: An agreement without bias

The consistent thing about standards is there are so many of them. Standard approaches to obtaining an agreed consensus for activity historically requires large amounts of toing and froing between interested parties, over long periods of time and in many cases, returning no consensus or bias consensus when the power of an individual or consortium uses their power of authority over the others.

It’s time for some clarity about consensus mechanisms, and how these are built within the Gospel Data Technology Platform™ and how these maintain a level of consistent, authorised and auditable data access and adjustments.
