Engineering recommendation only. Owner authorization and deployment evaluation are separate.

Machine checks: structure and decision rules only. Human evidence-quality review: RECORDED_PASS. Evidence authenticity is not independently verified; no criterion certification is issued.

Does the named owner authorize this exact bounded engineering step?

Owner: engineering lead. Record the owner's separate dated authorization or refusal and conditions. Do not infer authorization from a gate pass.

Six gates - no combined score

Gate and criteriaResultWhat is missing or failed
Understand today's work (HCAI-1.2)PASSRequired checks passed
Name the need and success condition (HCAI-1.1, HCAI-1.3, HCAI-1.4)PASSRequired checks passed
Walk through normal work, failure and recovery (HCAI-3.1, HCAI-3.2)PASSRequired checks passed
Inspect why each artifact belongs (HCAI-2.1, HCAI-2.2, HCAI-2.3)PASSRequired checks passed
Count the work AI leaves or creates (HCAI-3.3)PASSRequired checks passed
Bound the engineering decision (HCAI-4.1, HCAI-4.2, HCAI-4.3, HCAI-4.4, HCAI-4.5)PASSRequired checks passed

PASS means the structural rules and supplied review judgments satisfy this gate. It does not prove the evidence is true or sufficient in practice. MISSING means gather evidence; FAIL means repair a known problem; NOT_EVALUATED means no conclusion was drawn.

Missing values are not zero. Money and time are scenario estimates unless separately observed. Evaluation expense is not workflow operating cost.

R1: Correct or cancel without data loss

Success condition: All three paths preserve the defined fields

Behavior shown: simulated; this label is not inferred from visual fidelity.

Bounded owner decision

Owner: engineering lead

Engineering step: Build a disposable intake prototype

Resource cap: One engineer-day; no live sending

Revisit trigger: Review after prototype walkthrough

Owner authorization: pending separate dated record. A recommendation alone does not permit deployment.
