-maximum output are hard requirements, not semantic workload dimensions.
+A useful routing basis normally contains 5–10 orthogonal workload dimensions.
+Each definition must include positive scope, exclusions, and a contrast pair:
+one request that should receive majority weight on the dimension and one
+same-workload near-miss that should route to a sibling dimension or unknown.
+Request-envelope capabilities such as tools, vision, context, and maximum
+output are hard requirements, not semantic workload dimensions.
+
+Reject the proposal instead of approving its digest when:
+
+- any dimension lacks an exclusive in-scope request or a distinct near-miss;
+- product-behavior axes are mixed with repository-change/process axes; or
+- a dimension is an implementation, tests/docs/CI/release, eval/classifier, or
+  other always-on layer that would receive high weight on almost every ticket.
+
+Unknown weight absorbs the remainder. Do not add catch-all axes to cover it.
+For a gateway product basis, protocol, selection, classification, and quota can
+share one classifier; repository operations belong in a second classifier or
+in tags, not in the same summed vector.
