A.6.C:4.3 — “Guarantee” disambiguation

Preface node heading:a-6-c-4-3-guarantee-disambiguation:7747

Content

Treat “guarantee” as ambiguous until routed:

  • Semantic guaranteeL (“by definition / invariant”).
  • Governance guaranteeD (“provider commits / implementer must”).
  • Operational guaranteeE (measured property with evidence expectations; optionally referenced by D as the adjudication target).

If none of these fits, the statement is likely rhetorical and should be rewritten or explicitly marked as aspirational/informative.
