G.0:5.2 - Archetype 2: Epistemic comparability for selected-set publication across traditions

Tell. A team selects an R&D set using multiple evaluation traditions: safety assurance, cost models, and readiness heuristics.

Show (failure without CG‑Spec). The team collapses partial orders into a single score, hides the threshold policy in code, and cannot explain why cross-tradition penalties changed between runs.

Show (repair with CG‑Spec). A conformant CG‑Spec:

  • defines a comparator bundle (e.g., Pareto dominance + explicit lexicographic tiebreaks where lawful),
  • pins CNSpecRef.edition and the editioned segments (ComparatorSetRef.edition, SCPRef.edition, MinimalEvidenceRef.edition),
  • makes AcceptanceStubs explicit as templates while locating thresholds in CAL (G.4),
  • ensures RSCR triggers are emitted when comparator or policy pins change.
