# Pointguard — qualification

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

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

## Record status

**Record ID**: tool:pointguard

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: docs_qualification

**Lane lifecycle**: proposed

**Owner**: Tilly

**Owner role**: Pointguard and independent reviewer

**Owner status**: Not separately recorded

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

**Working browser surface:** [Tools — overview](<https://guthlabs.ai/labs.html#tools>) — Inspect the tool contract, usage, boundaries, and proposed qualification checks. 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_qualification lane. It does not execute tests, establish compliance, qualify the subject, or authorize an effect.

## 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.

## Catalog-observed source metadata

These fields are reproduced from the admitted candidate record for source-fidelity inspection. Presence does not prove implementation, connection, qualification, authority, or an external effect.

## Proposed deterministic qualification tests

- AT-01 Source fidelity: the record must preserve tool_id pointguard, slug pointguard, title Pointguard, owner agent Tilly, all five related jobs, all four field guides, all four principal gates, both never-rules, and source reference agents/index.html#tilly.

- AT-02 Proposal boundary: every page and export must state that implementation, connection, qualification, deployment, and authority are unproven unless separately evidenced.

- AT-03 Independent review: a reviewer cannot mark a record final when the reviewer is the evidence owner, subject owner, or otherwise has a declared conflict; the record must show an independent reviewer or remain held.

- AT-04 Contradiction visibility: any mutually inconsistent evidence must create a contradiction entry with both references, a description, impact, and unresolved status; omission fails.

- AT-05 Draft/public separation: a draft claim cannot enter a public-claim route unless a qualification decision, source references, reviewer identity, and publication-gate result are present.

- AT-06 Principal-gate lock: final publication, funding commitments, credential access, and changes to another agent's source each require an explicit independent-review decision; missing decisions produce held status.

- AT-07 Accessibility keyboard test: every review, evidence, contradiction, test, and decision control must be reachable and operable by keyboard, have a visible focus indicator, and expose its name, role, value, and validation error to assistive technology.

- AT-08 Accessibility non-visual test: status, failure, held, and contradiction states must not rely on color alone; headings, landmarks, labels, error text, and reading order must remain meaningful without styling.

- AT-09 Privacy test: collect only review data required by the record schema; reject secrets, credentials, unnecessary personal data, and unrelated source content; redact sensitive values in exports and logs.

- AT-10 Abuse test: prevent bulk submission, credential capture, impersonation, evidence deletion, reviewer self-approval, hidden contradictions, and unauthorized edits to another agent's source; rate-limit and audit repeated failures.

- AT-11 Source test: every allowed claim must point to an exact supplied source reference or an attached evidence record; absent provenance means held, not inferred.

- AT-12 Authority test: the system must never represent Pointguard, Tilly, or an independent reviewer as having implementation, deployment, credential authority, funding authority, publication authority, or source-edit authority unless separately proven.

- AT-13 Determinism test: identical normalized inputs, evidence references, and test versions must produce the same status, failure list, and decision rationale.

- AT-14 Instrument-directory test: compatible instruments must use only exact slugs from the supplied allowed directory; unlisted or disposed instruments must be rejected.

- AT-15 Export integrity test: exported records must include revision identifier, record hash or equivalent change marker, source references, test results, held claims, and audit history.

## Negative and abuse cases

- Self-approval or conflicted review

- Unsupported conversion of drafts into public claims

- Hidden or discarded contradictions

- False implication that the observed catalog entry proves implementation or authority

- Unauthorized credential access or source modification

- Exposure of submitted secrets or personal data

- Evidence tampering or untraceable revisions

- Accessibility barriers that prevent independent participation

- Abuse through automated submissions, impersonation, or gate bypass

- Using an educational instrument as professional, medical, financial, legal, safety, or engineering authority

## Qualification claim boundary

### Potentially allowed only after evidence and review

- The supplied source record identifies a tool named Pointguard with tool_id pointguard and slug pointguard.

- The source record lists Tilly as owner agent and lists Pointguard and independent reviewer as owner roles.

- The source record associates Pointguard with independent review, instrument qualification, evidence reconciliation, grant research and drafts, and website claim review.

- The source record lists Instrument packets, Qualification records, Grant dossiers, and Public-claim routes as related field guides.

- The source record lists final publication, funding commitments, credential access, and changes to another agent's source as principal gates.

- The source record prohibits approving one's own evidence, hiding a contradiction, and turning a draft into a public claim.

- The source record cites agents/index.html#tilly.

### Still held

- Pointguard is implemented, connected, deployed, or operational.

- Pointguard has authority beyond the supplied owner, role, job, field-guide, gate, and never-rule statements.

- Pointguard can approve final publication, funding commitments, credential access, or changes to another agent's source.

- Pointguard has access to credentials, private evidence, external systems, or another agent's source.

- Any instrument is qualified merely because it appears in the agent catalog.

- Any grant, customer, deployment, effect, performance metric, provider, or current capability exists.

- Any draft is a public claim.

- Any qualification result is professional, medical, financial, legal, safety, or engineering approval.
