External Framework Evidence Classification Status
Purpose
This page records the current public evidence strength and authored-page completeness of the External Frameworks inventory. Evidence strength and page completeness are independent dimensions.
complete documentation != reproduced behavior
source review != implementation test
artifact review != independent reproduction
parameterized observation != comparative testing
publication != standing or execution authority
Evidence Classes
MENTION_ONLY
AUTHOR_COMMENTARY
SOURCE_REVIEWED
ARTIFACT_REVIEWED
PARAMETERIZED_OBSERVATION
REPRODUCIBLE_COMPARATIVE_TEST
Only REPRODUCIBLE_COMPARATIVE_TEST permits an independently reproducible comparative-result claim.
Reproducibility Gate
All eight fields must be public and inspectable:
shared test vector
raw output
timestamp
runtime configuration
pinned source version or hash
replay commands
declared expected outcome
independent reproduction result
Missing fields fail closed and remain visible in the schema-0.7 compatibility report.
Current Evidence Exceptions
| Framework | Evidence class | Reason for exception |
|---|---|---|
| DecisionAssure | MENTION_ONLY | No public canonical source or authorized artifact package attached. |
| MindForge | MENTION_ONLY | No public canonical source or authorized artifact package attached. |
| CARE Runtime | MENTION_ONLY | Screenshot-only intake; no confirmed official technical source. |
| KPT | AUTHOR_COMMENTARY | Attributed public positioning exists, but no versioned technical source or executable artifact is recorded. |
| ASRO | ARTIFACT_REVIEWED | Public source and a non-authorizing fixture exist, but no reproduced run. |
| Morrison Runtime | PARAMETERIZED_OBSERVATION | Bounded observations exist; raw payload, timestamps, runtime configuration, source hashes, replay commands, and independent reproduction remain incomplete. |
| Admissible Existence Seed Cycle | ARTIFACT_REVIEWED | Internal ecosystem status mirror, not an external framework. |
| Decision Authority Compatibility | ARTIFACT_REVIEWED | Internal ecosystem compatibility crosswalk, not an external framework. |
All other currently classified external-framework records remain SOURCE_REVIEWED unless their machine-readable report states a weaker fail-closed posture.
Policy, Identity, Provenance, and Supply-Chain Cohort
The following 13 pages are now COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES at the documentation level while remaining SOURCE_REVIEWED at the evidence level:
| Framework | Evidence class | Page completeness |
|---|---|---|
| Open Policy Agent | SOURCE_REVIEWED | COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES |
| Cedar Policy | SOURCE_REVIEWED | COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES |
| OSCAL | SOURCE_REVIEWED | COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES |
| SPIFFE/SPIRE | SOURCE_REVIEWED | COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES |
| W3C Verifiable Credentials | SOURCE_REVIEWED | COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES |
| in-toto | SOURCE_REVIEWED | COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES |
| SLSA | SOURCE_REVIEWED | COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES |
| Sigstore | SOURCE_REVIEWED | COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES |
| OpenID Connect | SOURCE_REVIEWED | COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES |
| OAuth 2.0 | SOURCE_REVIEWED | COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES |
| W3C Decentralized Identifiers | SOURCE_REVIEWED | COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES |
| OpenLineage | SOURCE_REVIEWED | COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES |
| W3C PROV | SOURCE_REVIEWED | COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES |
Machine-readable cohort status:
static/external-frameworks/policy-identity-provenance-page-remediation.v1.json
Regression validator:
scripts/check_external_framework_page_remediation.py
The validator is invoked by scripts/check_goal5_external_frameworks_all.py, which is already called through npm run validate:goal5-external-frameworks in the canonical validation chain.
Family-Level Boundary
policy decision != execution authority
authentication != delegation
identity != authority
token validity != transition admissibility
credential verification != current standing
attestation != admissibility
provenance != legitimacy
lineage != truth
supply-chain conformance != runtime authority

Publication Rule
Generated results and page-status blocks must use the evidence class derived from machine-readable report fields. A narrative page must not display a stronger classification than its report.
page claim strength <= report evidence class
report evidence class <= available public artifacts
Remaining External-Framework Audit Queue
1. Review the remaining framework pages against the authored-page standard.
2. Regenerate all reports and generated page-status blocks under schema 0.7 in the canonical workflow.
3. Observe and inspect the canonical validation result and uploaded artifacts.
4. Repair any directly observed generation, validation, build, deployment, or public-route failure.
5. Recalculate the complete External Frameworks section audit.
Boundary
source availability != implementation evidence
implementation evidence != observed behavior
observed behavior != reproduced behavior
reproduced behavior != execution authority
crosswalk != compatibility
page completeness != evidence promotion
publication != standing
