# Source comparison — qualification

The distinct qualification record for Source comparison. This page is proposal-only.

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

## Record status

**Record ID**: job:socrates:source-comparison

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: qualification

**Lane lifecycle**: proposed

**Owner**: Socrates

**Owner role**: University guide and tutor entity

**Owner status**: PROPOSED

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

**Working browser surface:** [Agent jobs — builder overview](<https://guthlabs.ai/guth.html#builder>) — Inspect the package and stage a local project. 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 qualification lane. It does not execute tests, establish compliance, qualify the subject, or authorize an effect.

### Lane-specific instrument aids

No verified instrument is assigned to this qualification lane.

## 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.

- A valid submission creates one canonical question record with owner Socrates, proposed lifecycle, scope, audience, and requested output.

- Every comparison claim links to at least one source record, or is explicitly labelled unsupported or unresolved.

- A source without a locator is rejected or visibly marked incomplete; it cannot be represented as verified evidence.

- A claim linked only to a source that does not address it is classified insufficiently sourced, not supported.

- When two supplied sources conflict, the result records both positions, source links, conflict text, and unresolved status; it does not silently select one.

- A chronology with missing, conflicting, or inferred dates displays the limitation and cannot receive a final chronology status.

- Changing a source, claim, comparison method, or disposition creates a revision and preserves the prior record.

- High-stakes instruction, student identity data, external enrollment, and published curriculum claims route to Needs review or Held.

- The workflow displays that Socrates is a proposed university guide and tutor entity and does not present tutoring as institutional, legal, medical, or academic authority.

- No output claims provider connection, database authority, customer indexing, publication, deployment, or qualification.

- A draft learning path contains ordered steps, prerequisites, source links, and at least one uncertainty or reflection prompt when evidence is disputed.

- The interface is keyboard operable, exposes labels and validation errors programmatically, preserves logical heading order, supports zoom and reflow, and does not rely on color alone for claim status.

- Private or student-identifying fields are excluded from public indexing and search results unless an explicit visibility record permits access.

- If a source reference, attachment, or record cannot be read, the workflow records a failure state and prevents unsupported comparison.

- If an agent action exceeds declared authority, the action is blocked, logged, and marked Held with a human-review requirement.

## Negative and held-state tests

- Invented or fabricated primary sources

- Citation laundering or unsupported paraphrase

- Treating a confident or famous source as automatically authoritative

- Hiding disputed evidence behind a single summary

- Chronology errors caused by undated or conflicting sources

- Confusing tutoring with institutional, professional, or academic authority

- High-stakes educational guidance presented as settled instruction

- Collection or exposure of student identity data

- Accidental public indexing of private notes, files, or claims

- Unreviewed publication or external enrollment effects

- Doorway documentation that repeats keywords without useful comparison guidance

- Accessibility barriers in claim-status, source-link, or review controls

- Loss of provenance, source hash, revisions, or ownership

- Failure to distinguish unavailable evidence from negative evidence

## Qualification claim boundary

### Potentially allowed only after the stated evidence

- A proposed source-comparison job can structure questions and compare supplied sources.

- The workflow can preserve source labels, claim links, uncertainty, chronology notes, revisions, and review states.

- The workflow is intended to keep disputed evidence visible and distinguish tutoring from authority.

- The observed Notebook surfaces provide local prototype or indexed interfaces for notes, files, projects, field guides, approvals, search, and agent logs.

- External publication, enrollment, provider effects, and production effects remain held.

### Still held

- Socrates is qualified as an educational, university, or institutional authority.

- Any source, citation, curriculum, or chronology is verified without an inspectable source record.

- The job is deployed, connected to a provider, backed by an authoritative database, or indexing customers.

- The workflow provides accredited instruction, academic credit, admissions, enrollment, or professional advice.

- Any comparison is complete, correct, exhaustive, or suitable for high-stakes decisions without human review.

- Any documentation route proves a connected web feature or production behavior.

- Any source was browsed, fetched, validated, or published by this proposal.
