| One maturity score | Meanings, weights, scales, protections, and uncertainty disappear. | Select the characteristics that can change this inquiry and preserve their distinct scales. |
| Method or tool inventory as characterization | Possession or use does not establish the subject’s state or contribution. | Ask which result or protected condition each item changes and obtain the direct evidence. |
| Target without baseline | The proposed delta cannot be interpreted. | State the current reading or an explicit unknown under the same subject, scale, and horizon. |
| Measurement by dashboard | A display is treated as subject state, result, evidence, and verdict. | Recover the complete C.16 measurement chain and separate later interpretation. |
| Higher is always better | Polarity and target regions are assumed. | Declare higher-, lower-, target-, or unordered semantics for each scale. |
| Person-to-system transfer | Human capability or learning evidence is reused for an AI model or organization. | Identify the actual bearer and configuration, then obtain the transfer basis from the direct practice owning the receiving characteristic and its evidence under DOCA.1.CHR:4.5. |
| Benefits-only comparison | Resources, affected Systems, distribution, and protections vanish. | Orient the complete coordinate set before finite comparison. |
| Unknown as favorable | A missing premise enters a direction as if it had passed. | Preserve unknown and state the strongest claim it blocks. |
| Characterization as diagnosis of everything | Entry burden expands beyond the decision. | Keep only action-changing characteristics and name relevant unsearched areas. |
