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 guarantee → L (“by definition / invariant”).
- Governance guarantee → D (“provider commits / implementer must”).
- Operational guarantee → E (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.
