DOCA.1.CHR:4.3 - Define each selected characteristic and reading

For every selected characteristic, state in ordinary language:

1. what exact subject or relation bears it;
2. what the characteristic means for this receiving use;
3. its scale or admissible levels and any unit;
4. polarity—higher-is-better, lower-is-better, target-is-best, or no simple order;
5. time stance and evidence window;
6. current reading and uncertainty, or unknown;
7. intended, threshold, exploratory, or comparison reading;
8. explicitly protected reading or boundary when current;
9. source, method, and qualification needed for reliance; and
10. the next claim that this reading can change.

Use C.16 when a value, score, sensor indication, rating, or comparison must be made interpretable as a measurement. A label, dashboard tile, method description, or evidence link is not the measurement result or the actual subject state.
