Model Lifecycle Scope Guard

1. Purpose

Provide a reusable judgment method for detecting lifecycle overclaims, round-scope drift, and authority confusion in cognitive model governance work.

This Skill defines review rules. Deterministic scanning for status fields belongs in skills-vault as lifecycle-status-guard-scan.

2. Skill Type

evaluation

3. Trigger Conditions

Use when review material claims or implies:

stable
accepted
approved
owner-reviewed
ccra-approved
round closed
ready for Web final review
model upgraded
selector validated
regression sufficient

4. Input Contract

claim_text:
claim_location:
round_goal:
project_lifecycle_rules:
engineering_evidence:
content_evidence:
selector_evidence:
regression_evidence:
owner_decision_reference:

5. Output Contract

actual_authority_present:
evidence_sufficient: true | false
overclaim_risk: none | low | medium | high | blocking
recommended_classification: blocker | major | minor | calibration | defer

6. Core Rules

6.1 Engineering Evidence Is Not Lifecycle Authority

Passing tests, schema validation, selector demos, or regression gates can support a claim, but cannot alone promote model lifecycle status.

6.2 Local CCRA Is Not Owner Approval

Local CCRA may recommend readiness, identify blockers, and advise local tuning. Owner approval is still required before findings become accepted work or lifecycle status changes.

6.3 Local CCRA Is Not Web CCRA Final Review

Local CCRA may prepare the project for Web CCRA final review. It must not label itself as Web CCRA approval.

6.4 Round Scope Controls Work

Do not force future calibration, third-model design, LLM selector design, platform behavior, or product-system architecture into a round whose goal is narrower.

6.5 QPI Boundary

QPI remains a front-routing / misframing-diagnostic model. Do not convert it into an intervention model or generic psychological advice system during review.

6.6 The Mindscape Governance Boundary

The Mindscape of Bro Tsong is the engineered model-governance system for the user's cognitive model library. CCPE model-card and model-index assets may inform structure, but should not be treated as the future canonical governance store for this product's model library.

7. Procedure

1. Extract the claim.
2. Identify whether the claim concerns engineering, content, selector behavior, regression, lifecycle, Owner approval, or Web CCRA approval.
3. Identify the authority required for that claim.
4. Check whether the required authority is present and cited.
5. Check whether the evidence type matches the claim type.
6. Identify whether the claim belongs to the current round.
7. Classify overclaim risk.
8. Recommend repair, deferral, calibration, or Owner/Web escalation.

8. Branch Logic

If a lifecycle claim lacks Owner or required CCRA authority:
  classify as high or blocking overclaim.

If engineering evidence is used to support an engineering claim only:
  no overclaim unless wording implies content/lifecycle acceptance.

If a future policy issue appears in the current round:
  classify as calibration or defer.

If Local CCRA readiness is phrased as Web final approval:
  classify as blocker.

9. Stop Conditions

Stop when the claim's authority, evidence sufficiency, overclaim risk, and recommended action are recorded.

10. Failure Handling

If required authority cannot be found, treat the claim as unproven. Do not infer Owner or Web CCRA approval from silence.

11. Validation Checklist

Claim located?
Claim type identified?
Required authority identified?
Actual authority cited?
Engineering vs product judgment separated?
Local CCRA vs Owner vs Web CCRA separated?
Round scope considered?
Recommended action provided?
