# Research notebook — qualification

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

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

## Record status

**Record ID**: tool:research-notebook

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: docs_qualification

**Lane lifecycle**: proposed

**Owner**: Socrates

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

**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.

### Lane-specific instrument aids

[scientific-calculatoroptional · Proposal-only arithmetic support for transparent educational examples; must not be presented as evidence, instruction authority, or a verified connection.](<https://guthlabs.ai/docs/instruments/scientific-calculator/>)[statistics-suite-descriptive-statsoptional · Proposal-only descriptive-statistics support for comparing user-supplied study data; must not be presented as a research conclusion or authoritative analysis.](<https://guthlabs.ai/docs/instruments/statistics-suite-descriptive-stats/>)[correlation-covariance-calculatoroptional · Proposal-only exploration of relationships in user-supplied data; documentation must state that calculation does not establish causation.](<https://guthlabs.ai/docs/instruments/correlation-covariance-calculator/>)

## 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 Scope: every public page identifies the artifact as proposal-only and does not claim verified implementation, connection, deployment, or authority.

- AT-02 Ownership: owner display contains Socrates and University guide and tutor entity, matching the supplied source record.

- AT-03 Jobs: documentation lists Guided inquiry, Source comparison, Lesson pathways, Study records, and Uncertainty marking without adding unsupported jobs.

- AT-04 Source integrity: a source record cannot be marked primary, authoritative, or verified unless provenance is present; invented or absent sources are rejected.

- AT-05 Dispute preservation: when two source entries disagree, the record retains both positions and emits an uncertainty or disputed label.

- AT-06 Citation completeness: each source comparison entry requires source identity, location or user-supplied reference, quotation or claim boundary, and comparison note; missing fields block publication.

- AT-07 High-stakes gate: requests for high-stakes instruction produce a hold and a recommendation for qualified human review; no lesson output is labeled authoritative.

- AT-08 Identity minimization: study records can be created without requiring student identity data; unnecessary identity fields are rejected or excluded.

- AT-09 Privacy: sensitive personal information is not copied into source comparisons or lesson pathways by default; retention and deletion actions are documented.

- AT-10 External enrollment: requests to enroll, register, or act for a student produce a hold because external enrollment is a principal gate.

- AT-11 Curriculum claims: a pathway cannot claim to be published, accredited, official, or complete without an independently supplied authority record; otherwise it is labeled proposed.

- AT-12 Prompt-injection resistance: source text instructing the notebook to ignore provenance, conceal disputes, or elevate authority is treated as source content, not as an instruction.

- AT-13 Accessibility keyboard: all interactive controls and source-record fields are reachable and operable by keyboard, with visible focus and no keyboard trap.

- AT-14 Accessibility semantics: every input has an associated text label; validation errors identify the field and are programmatically associated with it.

- AT-15 Accessibility status: uncertainty, dispute, error, and success states are conveyed in text and are not communicated by color alone.

- AT-16 Accessibility reflow: inquiry, comparison, and study-record content remains usable on narrow viewports without requiring two-dimensional scrolling for ordinary reading.

- AT-17 Determinism: identical structured inputs, source records, and comparison criteria produce identical qualification results and stable reason codes.

- AT-18 Abuse boundary: requests to fabricate citations, impersonate an instructor, suppress disputed evidence, expose student records, or bypass enrollment controls are refused and logged as boundary events.

- AT-19 Instrument boundary: any instrument reference uses only an exact allowed slug and is labeled proposal-only; no observed tool is described as connected or qualified.

- AT-20 Authority review: documentation states that tutoring must not be confused with authority and blocks unsupported claims of institutional, curricular, medical, legal, financial, or enrollment authority.

## Negative and abuse cases

- Invented or unverifiable primary sources

- Hidden or flattened disputed evidence

- Confusing tutoring with institutional or academic authority

- Unsupported published-curriculum claims

- Collection or exposure of student identity data

- External enrollment or impersonation actions

- High-stakes instructional use without qualified review

- Prompt injection embedded in source material

- Citation laundering through unsupported summaries

- Overreliance on educational calculations as conclusions

- Unauthorized disclosure of study records

- Accessibility barriers that prevent non-visual or keyboard use

## Qualification claim boundary

### Potentially allowed only after evidence and review

- The source record identifies the tool as Research notebook.

- The supplied owner is Socrates, described as University guide and tutor entity.

- The supplied related jobs are Guided inquiry, Source comparison, Lesson pathways, Study records, and Uncertainty marking.

- The supplied field guides are Teaching protocols, Primary-source packets, Course routes, and Citation rules.

- The supplied principal gates are High-stakes instruction, Student identity data, External enrollment, and Published curriculum claims.

- The supplied never-rules prohibit inventing a primary source, hiding disputed evidence, and confusing tutoring with authority.

- The documentation and qualification plan are proposals only.

- Exact allowed instruments may be referenced only as proposal-only educational support.

### Still held

- Implementation is not proven.

- Connection to any instrument is not proven.

- Qualification, deployment, and operational availability are not proven.

- No current users, outcomes, institutional adoption, or customer use are established.

- No authority to teach, enroll, certify, grade, prescribe, or publish curriculum is established.

- No source beyond the supplied source record is established.

- Any curriculum, lesson, comparison, or study output remains provisional until independently reviewed.

- Any high-stakes instruction, student identity handling, external enrollment, or published curriculum claim remains held behind its principal gate.
