C.2.2:7 - Conformance Checklist
Normative.
| ID | Requirement | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| CC‑C.2.2‑1 (Triad publication). | Authors of a KD-CAL location SHALL attach formal basis, G, and warrant to one exact claim. A numerical R requires the receiving model; otherwise identify unquantified support and the bounded conclusion. | Keeps warrant attached to its claim without inventing a score. |
| CC‑C.2.2‑2 (R-only penalty routing). | A conforming implementation of KD‑CAL reuse SHALL satisfy INV‑C2.2‑1. | Ensures declared relation losses reduce warrant without silently mutating expression or scope. |
| CC‑C.2.2‑3 (Support composition). | A conforming composition SHALL satisfy DEF‑C2.2‑3: identify support roles, compatible scales, and dependencies, and use the justified receiving model or a non-aggregate synthesis. There is no default min or max. | Prevents both overstated assurance and loss of useful complementary support. |
| CC‑C.2.2‑4 (Relation visibility for reuse). | Authors SHALL name every scope-translation, kind, plane, notation, source-local, model-use, or evidence-reuse relation traversed by the path and cite the fit or loss rule that affects R_eff. | Makes each actual reuse loss auditable without inventing one crossing kind. |
| CC‑C.2.2‑5 (Loss model visibility). | Any numerical reuse loss SHALL identify its receiving quantity, scale, assumptions, derivation or calibration, and actual functions and versions, including Π where used. | Makes the calculation reproducible and its meaning inspectable. |
| CC‑C.2.2‑6 (Type before scope). | Authors and validators SHALL enforce WFC‑C2.2‑1 for scope composition operations. | Prevents ill-typed scope algebra from creating incoherent reliability claims. |
| CC‑C.2.2‑7 (Evidence binding). | Authors SHALL bind any asserted R_eff to evidence references that enable TA/VA/LA inspection, consistent with the assurance lane discipline (B.3.3) and evidence decay discipline (B.3.4). | Keeps R grounded and updateable. |
| CC‑C.2.2‑8 (No ordinal arithmetic). | Validators SHALL reject arithmetic that treats ordinal F, CL, or an ordinal R proxy as ratio-scale values. A receiving conversion model must establish meaning, scale, conversion, and assumptions; a penalty table or rescaling alone is insufficient. Formal validity never supplies empirical reliability by itself. | Preserves scale legality and useful formal conclusions. |
| CC‑C.2.2‑9 (Interpretation conditions declared). | Authors SHALL distinguish design- and run-time assurance and declare ReferencePlane, effective scheme, model-use basis, working situation, and validationMode where each changes the claim or use. | Makes interpretation auditable without a generic Context identity field. |
| CC‑C.2.2‑10 (Dependence and scope). | Authors SHALL expose actual shared premises, data, assumptions, and biases. Any assumed independence must be justified for the model and use; different path labels do not suffice. Keep distinct scope slices and counterevidence visible; do not fall back to minimum for entangled support. | Prevents double-counting without erasing complementary evidence. |
