Criteria at decision time2 historical snapshots
v1 · applied at decision time
Every material claim used to include, exclude, or recommend an option must cite a source and the observation it supports. A missing source is an evidence gap, not evidence of absence. Separate the agent’s interpretation from the source observation.
v1 · applied at decision time
Explain how the option advances the project’s stated goal using the owner’s current preferences and the actual responsibilities involved. Treat job titles, employer prestige, and tool matches as context rather than automatic inclusion or exclusion rules. Identify meaningful tradeoffs in words.
