DOCA.1.CHR:7 - Conformance Checklist
A conforming characterization or companion account:
- MUST identify the subject and configuration, receiving use, horizon, scenarios, and evidence window.
- MUST select each characteristic by an explicit way it can change the current inquiry or a protected condition.
- MUST state the bearer, meaning, Scale or levels, Unit when applicable, polarity, and time stance for every relied-on characteristic.
- MUST distinguish current, intended or exploratory, protected, and unknown readings.
- MUST keep result, resource, affected-System or distributional, and explicitly protected coordinate families visible when finite comparison is current.
- MUST NOT force incomparable coordinates into one scalar or assert Pareto improvement without a complete oriented set under one basis.
- MUST identify the direct owner, source, qualification, and uncertainty for every decision-reversing reading.
- MUST NOT use a MethodDescription, dashboard, benchmark, source link, or tool output as proof that measurement Work or a result exists.
- MUST return each missing premise as a bounded request, unknown, narrower claim, blocker, or stop.
- 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.
- MUST NOT present the characterization as a chosen direction, recommendation, programme, authorization, performed Work, or observed effect.
- SHOULD make the first useful result readable without requiring the compact form.
