feat: build step 4 — /mediation/, /arbitration/, /med-arb/; source ADRIC's rules
Build and deploy / build-and-deploy (push) Failing after 4s

Three pages, five in the build, zero JavaScript. /arbitration/ carries §4's
paired-disclosure condition on four surfaces and Q39's struck universal appears
in no form. /med-arb/ meets the procedural-fairness objection at the level of
process design and ships deliberately without Pouya's own protocol commitments,
which are Q54.

docs/01 directed the mediation page to name the "ADRIC Model Mediation Rules".
No such document exists — 0 occurrences across all four of ADRIC's rules pages
against 10 for "National Mediation Rules"; "Model" belongs to the Model Dispute
Resolution Clause inside the rules. Caught only because R14 requires the source
before the claim. docs/reference/adric-rules.md + adric-extract/ carry it, with
the digest drift measured rather than assumed: the HTML changes per request, the
text extracts are byte-stable, so the extracts are the artefact.

Four review passes, 21 defects, and the pattern was mine: I wrote the Q54 gate
into the page and then breached it four times, then round 2 found two survivors
of round 1's own fixes and one defect round 1's fix created. Also removed a
<title> naming a practised role §4 does not grant, a habitual presupposing awards
issued, and a claim about what ADRIC's rules permit that my own reference doc
says is unsupported.

Two instrument failures caught before they became conclusions: touch targets
measured over file:// with no CSS loaded (uniform 18px, including on a .btn with
a 44px floor), and a schema.org validator call that parsed nothing and returned
0 warnings for everything. Both re-run with the instrument validated first.

# The extracted text behind `../adric-rules.md`
**Why this directory exists, and why it matters more here than for ADRIO.**
Every term count in `../adric-rules.md` — including Finding 1, which corrected a
rule-set name `docs/01` had directed onto a public page — was run against these
extracts, not against the raw HTML. R14: a count taken from an artefact nobody
can reach is unverifiable by construction.
**And unlike the ADRIO fetch, the HTML digests here do not reproduce.** The
served pages change on every request. `../adric-rules.md` §Provenance records
the two measured digests and the four causes read out of the diff. **The
extracts below are byte-stable across those re-fetches** — verified, not
assumed: a second fetch of the mediation-rules page produced different HTML and
an identical `.txt`.
So for these pages, **the `.txt` files are the artefact and the digests are only
a record of what was fetched.**
## Reproducing
```sh
curl -sSL -o <slug>.html "https://adric.ca/rules-codes/<path>/"
node ../adrio-extract/extract.mjs <slug>.html > <slug>.txt
```
The four URLs and their slugs are in the provenance table of
`../adric-rules.md`.
**`extract.mjs` is not duplicated here.** It is the same unmodified script
committed at `../adrio-extract/extract.mjs`, and a second copy is a second thing
to keep true — `CLAUDE.md`'s single-source rule applied to a tool rather than to
a fact. If you change it, both reference documents' counts have to be re-run.
## The one command that reproduces Finding 1
```sh
for f in *.txt; do
printf '%-40s %s\n' "$f" "$(grep -o -F 'Model Mediation Rules' "$f" | wc -l)"
done
```
Expect `0` on all four. `grep -o -F 'National Mediation Rules'` returns 10 on
`rules-codes__national-mediation-rules.txt`.

The ADRIC Med-Arb Rules
As part of ADRICs role in protecting the public and promoting best practices in ADR, the need became apparent for specialized rules of procedure for med-arb, so a Task Force was formed with a dedicated working group of med-arb professionals. The Task Force completed an initial draft of the Rules, which were then referred to the Rules Committee for its consideration.
The Committee followed past practice by consulting with the membership at large as the Rules were being reviewed, and a discussion draft of the ADRIC Med-Arb Rules was presented to the membership at ADRICs Annual Conference in November 2019. The Committee received extensive and very helpful feedback. The Committee also followed past practice by sending the draft ADRIC Med-Arb Rules for “wordsmithing” by a plain language specialist and many of the recommended plain language revisions were adopted.
Med-Arb is not merely the merging of separate mediation and arbitration processes, but a unique process designed to meet the needs of particular disputants. It involves nuances and complexities that can be fine-tuned to the needs of the parties as a customized dispute resolution process, which requires a high level of practitioner competence to do successfully.
The Rules are designed to work in tandem with ADRICs existing Mediation Rules and Arbitration Rules, integrating seamlessly.

MODEL DISPUTE RESOLUTION CLAUSE
Parties who agree to submit disputes under the Med-Arb Rules may use this clause in their agreement:
All disputes arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with or derived from this agreement, will be finally resolved by Med-Arb under the Med-Arb Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. The Seat of Arbitration under the ADRIC Arbitration Rules will be [specify]. The language of the Med-Arb will be [specify].
TYPES OF DISPUTES TO WHICH THE MED-ARB RULES APPLY
Although the Med-Arb Rules were drafted to assist in resolving domestic commercial disputes, parties may want to apply them to international or non-commercial disputes. [1]
Parties should examine the Med-Arb Rules to ensure that their provisions are appropriate and conform with applicable legislation.
[1] In Québec, Article 2639 of the Civil Code of Québec, CQLR, c. CCQ-1991, provides that disputes over the status and capacity of persons, family matters, or other matters of public order may not be submitted to arbitration.
ADRIC ADMINISTRATION SERVICES
To commence a med-arb, send the Notice of Request to med-arbitrate to each Respondent under the Agreement and to ADRIC at [email protected] , and courier the Commencement Fee as set out in Schedule A of the Rules plus HST to ADRIC. Cheques are to be made payable to ADR Institute of Canada.
The Case Service Fee is to be remitted by the Respondent(s) with their Statement of Defence and/or Counterclaim (see Schedule A).
Templates : We regret we are not able to provide templates as the content of any such agreements would need to be the subject of legal advice.

The ADRIC National Mediation Rules
The National Mediation Rules provide rules for initiating mediations, including the appointment of a mediator should the parties be unable to come to an agreement.
The National Mediation Rules document contains the following:
Mediation Rules including Code of Conduct
Standard Form Agreement to Mediate (Schedule B)
Administration fees payable to the ADR Institute of Canada- see Schedule A of the Rules
Model Dispute Resolution Clause
The Model Dispute Resolution Clause set out below is of particular importance to those drafting or entering into contracts. Commercial contracts drafted by law firms of all sizes across Canada commonly contain a clause indicating that any dispute that arises with respect to the contract will be administered by ADR Canada, or one of its affiliates, pursuant to the National Mediation Rules or the ADRIC Arbitration Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada.
The National Mediation Rules provide a Model Dispute Resolution Clause for Mediation and /or Arbitration:
All disputes arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with or derived from this agreement, shall be mediated pursuant to the National Mediation Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. The place of mediation shall be [specify City and Province of Canada]. The language of the mediation shall be English or French [specify language].
Important Update on the ADR Institute of Canada (ADRIC) National Mediation Rules: As of 2025, the ADRIC Mediation Committee is currently reviewing the Mediation Rules to ensure they remain current, practical, and aligned with best practices in the field. In the meantime, the existing rules remain in effect and should continue to be used until any updates are formally adopted.
