F.12:5 - Minimal vocabulary

• Promise-content claim — the exact U.PromiseContent under A.2.3, including its subject, scope, target, and conditions.
• Work — the actual dated U.Work occurrence, or an explicitly defined population of Work occurrences, being judged.
• Observation — the actual observation occurrence and its result under C.2 and C.16.
• Measured value — a value for a named characteristic on an explicit scale and unit.
• Window — the time, batch, episode, phase, or other bounded evaluation interval under F.10.
• Evaluation Work — the dated Work in which a System enacts the evaluation Method over the selected facts and states.
• Evaluation application and result — the A.6.1 operation application with exact argument bindings and a result value on the acceptance specification’s declared scale.
• Evaluation rule and result scale — the stated comparison or aggregation and its declared admissible results. Boolean, trichotomous, graded, N/A, and Inconclusive-including scales are examples, not defaults.
• Status use — a separate F.10 application of an exact EvidenceStatus or RequirementStatus value to its exact target, scope, window, and use after the direct result is recovered.
• Verdict episteme — an optional C.2.1 episteme that states the evaluation result or status when another use needs a durable assertion; it is not the operation result or the fulfilment relation.
• Indicator or proxy relation — only a separately defined or tested relation in which one observed characteristic or result stands in for another subject or outcome for this use, with exact participants, coverage, and loss. The word proxy does not create it.
• Evidence use and reliance — the independently established direct relations supporting the acceptance claim, represented in A.10’s descriptive evidence-provenance path, with a local reliance disposition for the bounded use. B.3 enters only for an actual named assurance claim. Neither the path nor the disposition creates an indicator relation or the acceptance result.
