# Apple capability index — examples

The distinct examples record for Apple capability index. This page is proposal-only.

Status: **proposed**Lifecycle: **candidate**

## Record status

**Record ID**: field-guide:apple-capability-index

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: plan

**Lane lifecycle**: proposed

**Owner**: Tim

**Owner role**: Not separately recorded

**Owner status**: Not separately recorded

**Qualification result**: NOT RUN · held for evidence and human review

**Working browser surface:** [Field guides — documentation](<https://guthlabs.ai/docs/field-guides/>) — Inspect the guide and persist local checkpoints. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held.

## Hypothetical scenarios

A reviewer opens the Apple capability index guide for bounded local rehearsals. Every fixture uses invented placeholders, performs no provider or external action, and remains held until source evidence and human review are recorded.

### 1. Guided inquiry fixture

A reviewer records a bounded question, links only supplied source references, and marks every unanswered point Needs review.

**Fixture ID**: apple-capability-index-example-001

**Evidence**: Hypothetical source placeholders only

**Decision**: HELD · human review required

**External effects**: None

### 2. Source comparison fixture

A reviewer compares two hypothetical source locators, preserves disagreement, and holds any conclusion until provenance is supplied.

**Fixture ID**: apple-capability-index-example-002

**Evidence**: Hypothetical source placeholders only

**Decision**: HELD · human review required

**External effects**: None

### 3. Uncertainty and pathway fixture

A reviewer constructs a local procedure or study pathway with checkpoints while labelling uncertainty and leaving external effects Held.

**Fixture ID**: apple-capability-index-example-003

**Evidence**: Hypothetical source placeholders only

**Decision**: HELD · human review required

**External effects**: None

### 4. Potentially allowed claim fixture

A hypothetical claim may advance only when its exact evidence locator, scope, reviewer, and decision rationale are recorded; this fixture asserts no fact.

**Fixture ID**: apple-capability-index-example-004

**Evidence**: Hypothetical source placeholders only

**Decision**: HELD · human review required

**External effects**: None

### 5. Held claim fixture

A hypothetical unsupported claim remains Held with missing evidence and human-review rationale visible; it is not published or indexed.

**Fixture ID**: apple-capability-index-example-005

**Evidence**: Hypothetical source placeholders only

**Decision**: HELD · human review required

**External effects**: None

## Filled example fields

### Scope and ownership fixture

Define the capability question, owner, and bounded review scope.

**guide_id**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed

**capability_question**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed

**owner_agent**: Named human or Agent owner required

**related_job**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed

**platform_scope**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed

**review_date**: Not supplied in this hypothetical fixture

### Source binding fixture

Preserve the supplied source relationship and provenance before analysis.

**source_record_id**: fixture-source-001 (hypothetical; no external claim)

**source_locator**: fixture-source-001 (hypothetical; no external claim)

**source_sha256**: fixture-source-001 (hypothetical; no external claim)

**origin**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed

**provenance_note**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed

**revision_id**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed

### Capability hypothesis fixture

Describe a possible Apple-platform capability without presenting it as an existing connected feature.

**capability_name**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed

**user_problem**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed

**candidate_native_surface**: Not supplied in this hypothetical fixture

**required_app_context**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed

**specialist_app_owner**: Named human or Agent owner required

**canonical_record_owner**: Named human or Agent owner required

## Review questions

- A new record stores a canonical ID, owner agent, source locator, source SHA-256, provenance, lifecycle, and revision history.

- The record distinguishes a named native surface from an observed Guth route and labels unverified effects Held.

- The form cannot mark a capability approved without evidence records, reviewer identity, review timestamp, and an approval receipt.

- The lifecycle model rejects invalid transitions and exposes a visible failure or Held state.

- A missing source locator or failed checksum prevents qualification advancement.

- The record links to exactly one accountable owner and at least one related job before review.

- Every implementation candidate includes inputs, outputs, permission assumptions, failure state, and accessibility requirements.

- The workback includes discovery, technical validation, accessibility, and approval due dates.
