Report Reading Guide¶

A report is the artifact a verifier emits after checking a bundle against a selected level, profile, package set, or verifier configuration.

Conformance source data lives in:

data/conformance/

Verification source data lives in:

data/verification/

Outcome Vocabulary¶

A claim that runs receives exactly one outcome:

Outcome	Meaning
`pass`	Required evidence is present and the claim is satisfied.
`fail`	Required evidence is present and the claim is not satisfied.
`partial`	A multi-requirement claim has mixed satisfied and failed requirements.
`cannot-verify`	The claim applies, but required evidence is missing.

Claims that are not selected or not applicable do not receive outcomes.

They may appear as not-run metadata.

A failure means the verifier had enough evidence to determine that the claim was not satisfied.

A failure should not be hidden by missing evidence in another requirement.

AR uses failure-first composite rollup for this reason.

cannot-verify means the claim applies, but required evidence is missing.

It is not a pass. It is not a fail. It means the verifier cannot complete the check from the available record structure and evidence.

A report describes verifier results under AR semantics.

It does not decide final truth, authority, legal effect, legitimacy, or domain meaning.
