A.19.ECS:5.1 - Bias-Annotation

A.19.ECS corrects score-first bias. Teams often begin improvement by choosing convenient scores, visible dashboards, or familiar criteria. The pattern starts instead from evaluated object kind, declared use, contrast cases, characteristic slots, scale bindings, value meanings, evidence basis, missingness, protected trade-offs, and stop conditions.

It also corrects evaluation-reuse bias. A reusable evaluation is useful only when it fits the object kind and use. If the existing evaluation already fits, use it; if it does not, construct or repair the evaluation characteristic space before starting an improvement loop.
