# Public-claim routes — qualification

The distinct qualification record for Public-claim routes. This page is proposal-only.

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

## Record status

**Record ID**: field-guide:public-claim-routes

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: docs_urls

**Lane lifecycle**: proposed

**Owner**: Tilly

**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.

## Qualification status

**Result**: NOT RUN

**Disposition**: HELD

**Reviewer**: Not recorded

**Receipt**: Not recorded

This page defines proposed acceptance criteria for the docs_urls lane. It does not execute tests, establish compliance, qualify the subject, or authorize an effect.

### Lane-specific instrument aids

[wcag-contrast-ratio-checkeroptional · Educational contrast checks for route examples and accessibility review; label results as checks rather than certification.](<https://guthlabs.ai/docs/instruments/wcag-contrast-ratio-checker/>)

## Outcome definitions

**Verified**: All stated evidence and acceptance requirements passed for the exact reviewed revision; this still does not authorize deployment or an external effect.

**Failed**: One or more deterministic acceptance requirements failed with an inspectable reason.

**Needs review**: Evidence or interpretation is incomplete, conflicting, or awaits an identified human reviewer.

**Held**: Authority, required evidence, safe execution conditions, or a principal gate is absent.

The current record remains NOT RUN / HELD. These definitions describe candidate outcomes only.

## Proposed deterministic acceptance tests

Route-resolution and distinct-content checks apply only to the admitted canonical routes in this record. Held source-proposed extensions are non-resolving proposals and are excluded.

- Every proposed docs route has a unique path, title, audience, search question, and content promise.

- The overview explains scope, ownership, lifecycle, and held effects without claiming deployment or publication.

- The steps page lists the ordered review workflow, including evidence, qualification, approval, and failure handling.

- The forms page specifies implementable fields for claims, evidence, routes, qualification, decisions, and deadlines.

- The examples page contains at least one allowed claim example and one held claim example, each with evidence and decision rationale.

- The qualification page requires an exact allowed instrument slug and records limitations, reviewer, and status.

- Each related-job page explains a distinct handoff and links back to the relevant claim, evidence, route, or approval record.

- A route with duplicate content, keyword-only variation, or doorway intent fails review and is held.

- Missing provenance, source locator, source hash, owner, or reviewer leaves the claim Needs review or Held.

- Prototype app routes are labelled prototype or indexed according to the supplied route state; no route is described as connected production infrastructure.

- No test passes if the content claims provider connection, credential use, database authority, customer indexing, publication, or production effect.

- Accessibility checks include keyboard navigation, visible focus, labels, heading order, readable contrast, and text alternatives for non-text examples.

## Negative and held-state tests

- A native surface or named app route may be mistaken for a connected web feature.

- A prototype or indexed route may be described as deployed, public, customer-facing, or production-ready.

- Distinct URLs may become doorway pages if they repeat the same claim with minor keyword changes.

- Evidence may be stale, conflicting, incomplete, or detached from its source locator and revision.

- Educational instrument output may be mistaken for professional advice, certification, or a final public claim.

- The allowed instrument directory includes statuses with errata; qualification must preserve the instrument status and limitations.

- Deadline pressure may cause unsupported claims, skipped review, or accidental external effects.

- Files and capture surfaces may be mistaken for upload, protected storage, or database custody.

- Accessibility failures can make otherwise useful documentation unusable.

- Unreviewed drafts may be sent, exported, indexed, or published without a human receipt.

## Qualification claim boundary

### Potentially allowed only after the stated evidence

- This guide is a proposal for reviewing and routing public-facing claims.

- The supplied GuthHub and Notebook surfaces have the capabilities and lifecycle states stated in the observed native contract and app-route record.

- Notebook records can preserve canonical IDs, provenance, source locators, source SHA-256, revisions, lifecycle, tags, links, attachments, and record revisions.

- PointGuard is described as a persistent cross-app context surface whose specialist apps remain execution and canonical-record owners.

- The exact verified instrument wcag-contrast-ratio-checker may be referenced for educational contrast checks, subject to qualification notes and limitations.

### Still held

- Deployment, publication, customer indexing, provider connection, credential use, database authority, and production effects.

- Any claim that an app route is a connected web feature merely because a native surface or route is named.

- Qualification, compliance certification, professional advice, or guaranteed correctness based only on an instrument result.

- External calendar writes, message sends, exports, uploads, protected storage, or other external side effects.

- Any unsupported live metric, customer outcome, grant result, or website performance claim.

- Final approval of a claim without a named human reviewer and preserved receipt.
