| “It is creative.” | Name the bearer, comparison basis, practical criterion, supported difference, consequence, and limit. |
| Novelty without a fixed corpus and Method | Fix the finite corpus, inclusion rule, model or encoder, Method, Scale, and comparison window before using a coordinate. |
| Randomness treated as creativity | Pair Novelty or Surprise with Use-Value and ConstraintFit. |
| Gain without a baseline | Name the before-state and the A/B, back-test, causal-inference, or other comparison Method appropriate to the claim; otherwise report supported usefulness rather than gain. |
| One magic score | Keep primitive coordinates, gates, partial order, incomparability, and sensitivity visible. |
| Pretty scatterplot called a frontier | State the eligibility and dominance rule and compute the non-dominated set. |
| Ordinal arithmetic | Use order-safe summaries or justify the model that supports an interval interpretation. |
| Profile-plan blur | Keep the profile as coordinate-claim payload; put intended Work in a WorkPlan and actuals on dated Work. |
| Dashboard as evidence or result | Identify the result and evidence independently; treat the dashboard as a representation. |
| Global or cross-scale novelty | Name the source and receiving bases, mapping, direction, loss, evidence, and use. |
| Illumination or diversity silently drives selection | Keep it as telemetry unless a C.19 pool policy declares the use. |
| Pattern, model, record, or assignment said to assess | Name the System and dated Work only when an actual assessment occurred; otherwise state the result claim directly. |
