F.10:4.1 - Three status families

F.10 supplies a small set of three status families—EvidenceStatus, StandardStatus, and RequirementStatus—for common project use. A family classifies local status values; it is not a universal result kind and does not create its targets.

Status familyModalityTypical exact targetWhat the family permits one status-use assertion to say
EvidenceStatusepistemicexact target-claim episteme or claim-bearing result epistemeThe asserted evidential standing of that claim for one scope, polarity, window, and use, after exact A.2.4 evidence-use and direct input results are recovered. It is not the measurement/proof/causal result or evidence relation itself.
StandardStatusdeontic and curatorialexact standard/profile edition, method description, governed configuration, or other admitted standard targetWhat the exact governing source sanctions, discourages, or supersedes for one scheme, edition, scope, window, and use. It is not an approval speech act, permission, runtime result, or requirement satisfaction.
RequirementStatusdeontic and compliance-facingexact requirement, duty, constraint, acceptance, or obligation clauseWhat is asserted about applicability, satisfaction, violation, waiver, or pending evaluation for that clause under its direct rule, scope, conditions, and window. It is not the clause, evaluation work, result, gate, or assurance.

A project may define local sublevels or labels, but each label resolves under one effective ReferenceScheme to one exact local sense and maps to one of these three families—EvidenceStatus, StandardStatus, or RequirementStatus—or to another status family defined by its own pattern. Adding a family row creates neither a system-role kind nor a global synonym.
