Evidence rules (summary)
- Traceability: scores map to evidence, source owner and review period.
- Relevance: only licensed capabilities and obligations applicable to scope are assessed.
- Reliability: system evidence preferred; spreadsheets/interviews corroborated.
- Completeness: missing evidence is recorded as a limitation (not silently treated as success).
- Least privilege: read-only, minimum-necessary access; sensitive data minimized/anonymized where possible.
