1
+ # v0.1 scoring policy
2
+
3
+ This document is normative for benchmark version 0.1.0.
4
+
5
+ ## Unit of assessment
6
+
7
+ The unit is one repository plus the organizational controls explicitly attested for that repository.
8
+ The score describes the harness and operating boundaries at the assessment time. It does not score a
9
+ model, vendor, developer, team productivity, or code quality in general.
10
+
11
+ ## Dimension scores
12
+
13
+ Each dimension has one or more controls at levels 1 through 4. A dimension earns level `n` only when:
14
+
15
+ 1. every applicable control at level `n` is met; and
16
+ 2. every lower level was earned.
17
+
18
+ This consecutive rule prevents a dashboard or advanced tool from masking missing fundamentals.
19
+ The overall score is the sum of ten dimension scores, with a maximum of 40. The percentage is
20
+ display-only and must not determine readiness.
21
+
22
+ ## Readiness decisions
23
+
24
+ Each autonomy profile defines a floor for every dimension. A profile passes only if every floor is
25
+ met. Scores do not compensate across dimensions. For example, context level 4 cannot compensate for
26
+ security level 1 when a profile requires security level 2.
27
+
28
+ The highest passed profile is informative. Teams should target only the authority required for their
29
+ use case; a higher profile is not automatically better.
30
+
31
+ ## Evidence classes
32
+
33
+ Deterministic collectors may award `verified` confidence when every required repository check passes.
34
+ Manual attestations may satisfy portable organizational controls or explain nonstandard evidence, but
35
+ the report labels them `attested`. Attestation never upgrades to verified confidence.
36
+
37
+ An attestation must include status, owner, review date, and a useful evidence reference. Expired
38
+ attestations are ignored. `not_applicable` is rejected unless a control explicitly permits it.
39
+ Core v0.1 controls do not permit not-applicable claims.
40
+
41
+ Collectors are intentionally evidence-presence tests. Reviewers must not infer implementation
42
+ quality, policy compliance, or branch settings merely from a file or word existing.
43
+
44
+ ## Changes and comparability
45
+
46
+ Version 0.1.0 controls and floors are immutable after public release. Clarifications that do not alter
47
+ outcomes may be published as errata. Any addition, deletion, evidence-semantic change, or floor change
48
+ requires a new benchmark version through the RFC process.
49
+
50
+ Reports are comparable only when benchmark version, target profile, repository scope, attestation
51
+ policy, and assessment mode match. Longitudinal comparisons should also record material harness and
52
+ organizational changes.
53
+
54
+ ## Claims
55
+
56
+ Allowed: “We self-assessed repository X against ADRB v0.1.0 and passed the PR-creation profile on
57
+ DATE; N controls were verified and M were attested.”
58
+
59
+ Not allowed: “Certified,” “compliant,” “safe,” or “secure” based only on this self-assessment.
