C.32.ACS:4.1 - Kind settlement

ArchitectureCharacteristicCriteriaSet@Project is a C.32.ACS-local project working record: it holds criteria-row references and use classifications for improvement work. Each draftProjectCriteriaRows entry is another local record form, not the referenced U.Characteristic, Q-Bundle slot, scale, predicate, measurement result, eval program, or eval result. The set and rows create no new U.* kind and replace none of those direct objects.

For a particular architecture decision, a characteristic is architecturally relevant when it matters to a required result or constraint and a difference between the considered structures can change its attainable expression under stated conditions. Name the bearer, relevant structural alternatives and reason for that connection. A domain or functional quality can satisfy this condition; the name of an -ility alone cannot. Architectural relevance frames a hypothesis or justified dependence, not proof of a causal effect.

A C.25 Q-Bundle is the structured form for a composite quality family. A scale row binds one characteristic or Q-Bundle slot to a bearer, scale form, use class, and receiving use. A row whose scale form exposes exception growth, interface variation, or another scale-sensitive characteristic remains a criterion row; a preference between architecture alternatives over a declared scale window is a separate C.31.ASAP claim. An architecture-characteristic eval program belongs to C.32.ACE; it frames evaluation of one declared row, coupled rows, Q-Bundle slots, or C.32 candidate palettes while each actual typed result remains under the pattern that defines and tests that result.
