PSD.12:7 - Conformance Checklist

• The exact comparison, subject, configuration, horizon, and robustness claim are stated.
• The robustness criterion is explicit and not chosen after seeing the preferred winner.
• Variation ranges, scenarios, dependencies, and exclusions have a recoverable basis.
• Binding conditions are not silently relaxed as parameters. A disputed requirement’s merits return remains separate from its present force and from the robustness result.
• Tests address relevant interactions, structural differences, and omitted alternatives.
• Sampled behavior, analytical region claims, and unsupported extrapolation are distinguished.
• A paired-response test states its admissible inputs, comparable response scale, construction weights, preferred direction and exact finite result; no midpoint gap or constructed mean is overread as global robustness or an actual expectation.
• Holding regions, ties, reversals, failures, and gaps are reported at their actual scope.
• Information priorities concern attainable decision-changing results and include cost or feasibility limits.
• Adaptive claims account for observation, lead time, response feasibility, and later authority.
• The return supplies evidence for recommendation, not truth, authorization, Work, or effectiveness.
