Points in this Area
4 PointsChecks govern writing, not authority
Each evaluator must bound its pass claim to inspected evidence so compliance is not mistaken for truth.
Evidence bounds maturity claims
Claim-basis classification and standard posture and lifecycle keep contract, implementation, evidence, intent, and history from collapsing.
Posture, lifecycle, review, and relations remain distinct
Distinct posture and lifecycle keep intended, open, current, and historical claims from impersonating each other.
The useful test controls semantic scope
New scope needs evidence proportionate to the claim instead of relying on novelty or accumulated work.
