E.4.DPF.DA:4.1 - Ordinal scale

ValueLabelMeaning
0wrongKindOrNoBasisThe object is not an evaluable DPF package for the declared use, or required basis is absent.
1namedOnlyThe package name or topic exists, but the package cannot guide domain or local work.
2partialSeedUseful source, prompt, or pattern-seed material exists, but package obligations are incomplete or fragile.
3locallyUsableWithVisibleLimitsThe package can support bounded exploration or local use with explicit limits and repairs.
4wellGroundedForDeclaredDPFUseThe package is coherent, source-grounded, FPF-dependent, navigable, and refreshable for the declared use.
5exceptionallyGroundedForDeclaredDPFUseThe package is replayable across source basis, pattern set, relation records, heterogeneous cases, publication carriers, improvement route, refresh route, and discriminating boundary cases.

Default floor is 4 for public, teaching, enterprise, operational, or reliance-bearing DPF use. A fast seed or exploratory prompt output may use floor 3 only when its limits, missing evidence, next repair, and reopen condition are explicit.
