In plain words
ĀRK starts from one principle found in the Vedānta-sūtra: the Vedic texts, read together, all point to one Supreme Person, Kṛṣṇa. A reading of a verse is accepted when it fits that whole picture. The method sets out how we test a reading, how we rank different texts as sources, how we handle passages that seem to disagree, and how each verse gets its permanent address. Anyone can report a reading they think is wrong.
