Conformance Model

This page is a docs-side orientation surface for conformance-related reading. It does not establish a frozen class system, a final evaluation constitution, or an adjudication ownership model.

1. Purpose

Use this page to understand the reading order for:

  • evidence-oriented evaluation docs
  • repaired Validation Lab reference pages
  • the difference between protocol definition and evidence adjudication

2. Conservative Baseline

The strongest source-backed claims available here are:

  • conformance-related reading in docs is about evidence artifacts, not direct inspection of a live running process
  • repaired Validation Lab reference pages describe adjudication against versioned rulesets and evidence packs
  • repository-backed schemas, invariants, profiles, and taxonomy remain the protocol truth source

This page should not be read as creating additional protocol-layer conformance doctrine beyond those sources.

3. What This Page Does Not Define

This page does not define:

  • a canonical L1 / L2 / L3 conformance-class constitution
  • a final ladder of protocol maturity classes
  • a rule that passing a set of docs-defined flows yields a final conformance grade
  • evaluation ownership independent of repaired Validation Lab reference pages

4. Reading Order

For conformance-related reading, use this order:

  1. Evidence Pack Contract
  2. Validation Lab Overview
  3. Ruleset Reference
  4. Lifecycle Guarantees Reference
  5. Evaluation Dimensions
  6. Results & Status

5. Boundary

  • protocol semantics come from repository-backed protocol sources
  • adjudication reality comes from Validation Lab authority surfaces and their bound assets
  • this page is only a reading aid between those two

6. References


Final Boundary: this page is an orientation surface only. It does not create a new conformance doctrine for MPLP.
