SIE.10:2 - Problem
Semantic integrations fail across several independent layers. A carrier can be well formed while meanings are wrong; correspondences can be defensible while transformation code violates them; identity rows can pass while claim conflicts are flattened; provenance can be complete while source claims are stale or false; quality dimensions can look good while the representative workflow receives the wrong answer.
One aggregate “quality” or “confidence” score hides which premise failed and what must reopen. It also encourages compensating a hard stop, such as unresolved identity or unauthorized source use, with strong results elsewhere.
