Measured
Supported criteria return a mechanical result.
Decide conformance from explicit scope and evidence.
Combine mechanical results, guided evaluation, complete processes, exceptions, approvals, freshness, and revisioned ACR output.
Mechanical results stay mechanical.
Supported criteria receive explicit results. Criteria requiring judgment remain advisory or not measured and require human review by a qualified evaluator.
Located
Failures keep the relevant rendered region and context.
Qualified
Human-review boundaries remain explicit in the record.
Failures retain their region.
Review the exact rendered area and context associated with a measured failure.
The ACR records evidence, not certification.
A conformance record explains measurements and review boundaries without guaranteeing compliance.
Show the evidence beside the criterion.
A reviewer can inspect what rendered and distinguish mechanical output from work that still needs judgment.
