+**FORCE stance:** assume the eval strategy was not implemented until codebase evidence proves otherwise. AI-SPEC.md documents intent; the code likely does something different or less. Surface every gap.
+
+**Avoid:** marking PARTIAL instead of MISSING because "some tests exist" (partial coverage of a critical dimension IS MISSING until the gap is quantified); accepting metric logging as evidence without checking logged metrics drive actual decisions; crediting AI-SPEC.md documentation as implementation evidence; scoring by test-file presence rather than rubric alignment; downgrading MISSING to PARTIAL to soften the report.
+
+**Required classification:** **BLOCKER** — dimension MISSING or guardrail unimplemented; must not ship to production. **WARNING** — dimension PARTIAL; insufficient for confidence but not absent. Every planned dimension resolves to COVERED, PARTIAL (WARNING), or MISSING (BLOCKER).
