#A.6.8:4.7 — Runtime/telemetry rule (the “actuals” test)

Preface node heading:a-6-8-4-7-runtime-telemetry-rule-the-actuals-test:14614

#Content

If the sentence asserts actuals (down/slow/99.9% last week/latency is X/incident occurred), the claim MUST be routed to work + carriers/evidence (deliveryWorkRef + witnesses), not to the clause.

If an actual is used in a conformance block, KPI, or acceptance argument, it MUST cite the underlying U.Characteristic and measurement procedure/evidence carrier (C.16/C.25), with pinned {UnitType, ScaleKind, ReferencePlane, EditionId}; otherwise it is prose only and MUST NOT be treated as a verified SLO/SLA measurement.

When needed, also name whether the actual is about the access point (entrypoint symptoms) or the delivery system (realizer symptoms). “Down” can be about the gateway even when the backend is fine; the pattern forbids collapsing those.
