E.22:4.2 - Quality evaluation purposes

Purpose valueUse whenExpected result
floorEvaluationThe question is whether the object reaches a declared floor.Values below floor, first repair, architecture hold, refresh, new-frame assignment, or admissible stop.
exceptionalImprovementEvaluationThe floor is reached and the requester wants non-dominated improvement toward exceptional expression.Per-coordinate proposal or no-candidate disposition.
paretoTradeoffEvaluationA candidate change may improve some values while worsening protected qualities.Trade-off account and non-dominated comparison.
candidateImprovementProposalEvaluationThe requester needs candidate-change proposals before changing the object or generating variants.Proposal row or bounded proposal portfolio with an expected effect on the later evaluation result.
openQuestionDiscoveryEvaluationThe requester wants important unasked questions surfaced.Question classified as existing-coordinate issue, candidate future coordinate, or outside-evaluation issue.
absorptionEvaluationReturned findings or suggestions have been applied or rejected.Quality-impact account over the changed object.

Purposes can be combined, but the result keeps them distinguishable. A floor result does not answer exceptional improvement. Absorption count does not establish a changed evaluation result. A proposal is not a selected work item.
