C.40.OC:7 - Conformance Checklist

A conforming characterization or companion account:

1. MUST identify the subject and configuration, receiving use, horizon, scenarios, and evidence window.
2. MUST select each characteristic by an explicit way it can change the current inquiry or a protected condition.
3. MUST state the bearer, meaning, Scale or levels, Unit when applicable, polarity, and time stance for every relied-on characteristic.
4. MUST distinguish current, intended or exploratory, protected, and unknown readings.
5. MUST keep result, resource, affected-System or distributional, and explicitly protected coordinate families visible when finite comparison is current.
6. MUST NOT force incomparable coordinates into one scalar or assert Pareto improvement without a complete oriented set under one basis.
7. MUST identify the direct owner, source, qualification, and uncertainty for every decision-reversing reading.
8. MUST NOT infer measurement Work or a qualified result merely from the presence of a MethodDescription, display, benchmark score, source link or tool output. MUST establish the measurement and evidence basis required for the receiving claim, reusing an adequate qualified result.
9. MUST return each missing premise as a bounded request, unknown, narrower claim, blocker, or stop.
10. MUST retain a next measurement, comparison, pattern, direct-owner use, or local reopen condition only where it changes the recipient’s continuation or interpretation. A sufficient direct characterization creates no further-work or omission-record obligation.
11. MUST NOT present the characterization as a chosen direction, recommendation, programme, authorization, performed Work, or observed effect.
12. SHOULD make the first useful result readable without requiring the compact form.
