A.19.ECS:8 - Consequences

A conforming A.19.ECS result lets E.22 ask a useful improvement-oriented quality-evaluation question and lets E.23 run a repeated improvement loop without inventing values during the loop. It also gives object-specific evaluation patterns such as E.21, E.9.DA, E.2.DA, and F.18 a common construction shape: evaluated object kind, use, contrast cases, coordinates, value meanings, evidence basis, result-row shape, calibration points, coordinate-specific payloads, protected trade-offs, status meanings, and local stop or reopen condition.

The cost is intentional. A reusable evaluation is heavier than a local checklist, because it must prevent wrong-kind use, hidden value drift, proxy-for-value substitution, neighbour theft, and false stop claims. When a local rubric is enough, keep the rubric local. When reuse is needed, carry the evaluation by value.
