That supports ‘these commenters had trouble finding export,’ not ‘every customer needs a redesign.’","question":"What extra evidence would you want before changing the navigation?","feedback":"Try a task observation with people outside the original sample, and check whether the button exists and works.

That does not settle whether the evidence is fair, whether the ranking is appropriate, or how someone can challenge it.","question":"Who is absent from the room where this automation is being designed?","feedback":"Look beyond the operator: affected people, people with accessibility needs, and those who must correct mistakes may see different costs.

An agent system can use a model to choose actions. A harness supplies the surrounding execution, tools, context and controls.

Portability of the format does not make every host’s behavior identical.","example":"A source-checking skill can describe how to verify a claim. A bundled script could also read files or access a network; inspect both before installation.","question":"What would you inspect before trusting a downloaded skill?","feedback":"Read the instructions, scripts, provenance and requested access.

They share an artifact contract, not permission to edit everything.","question":"When could three reviewers repeat one mistake?","feedback":"When they share the same missing evidence or assumptions.

If a claim still lacks support, return the draft with that limitation instead of inventing a citation.","question":"What should happen if a checker keeps returning the same failure?","feedback":"Stop at the budget, preserve the failure and ask the decision owner for a new input or a narrower goal.

A scheduler and external actions still need separate implementation and approval.","sources":["sis"]},{"id":"evaluation-contract","title":"Test the output, not the theatre","kind":"Engineering practice","idea":"Write acceptance criteria before the run. Include a plausible wrong answer and a case where refusing or stopping is the correct behavior.

Do not keep an entire private conversation merely because a future task might benefit.","question":"What should an assistant do when a remembered fact conflicts with a newer source?","feedback":"Expose the conflict and dates, verify with the appropriate owner, and update the durable record deliberately.

In RDF, a statement has a subject, predicate and object. Useful engineering also records where a statement came from and what can change it.","example":"‘Draft A cites Source B’ is a different edge from ‘Source B supports Claim C.’ A citation edge alone cannot prove the support edge.","question":"What relation is missing from a folder full of meeting notes?","feedback":"Perhaps ‘decision supersedes decision,’ ‘claim supported by source,’ or ‘task owned by person.’ Choose the relation needed for an actual question, not an attractive network picture.","transfer":"Represent one workflow with five named entities and three unambiguous relations.","boundary":"This learning map is a small editorial graph, not an ontology of everything.","sources":["rdf","provenance"]},{"id":"ontology-engineering","title":"Agree on meaning before inference","kind":"Engineering practice","idea":"An ontology makes domain concepts and relations explicit. Definitions let people and software distinguish things that otherwise share vague labels.","example":"A ‘review’ might mean feedback was requested, feedback was received, or a release was approved. Those are different states with different authority.","question":"Which counterexample would reveal an ambiguous definition of ‘approved’?","feedback":"A favorable draft comment from someone without release authority.

Astronomers use instruments and models to study much more than the apparent brightness of a star.","question":"Why is a beautiful astronomical image not the same thing as a measurement?","feedback":"Ask how the instrument captured it, what wavelengths were used and how the image was processed.
