I'd hold CERN to a slightly higher standard than DOGE when it comes to what's considered plainly obvious.

Sure, but the way you maintain this standard is by codifying rules that are distinct from the "lower" practices you find elsewhere.

In other words, because of the huge DOGE clusterfuck demonstrated how horrible practices people will actually enact, you need to put this into the principles.

Oddly enough nowadays CERN is very much like a big corpo, yes they do science, but there is a huge overhead of corpo-like people who running CERN as an enterprise that should bring "income".
Can you elaborate on this, hopefully with details and sources including the revenue stream that CERN is getting as a cooperation?
