Evidence

Supporting Evidence

Scope Assessment

  • Evidence Strength: medium
  • Confidence: medium
  • Applies to: ideas-to-life-cas

Rationale

  • Intent: Ensure the workspace has the required governance and structural preconditions before execution.
  • Context: A file-based, knowledge-driven CAS system that needs initialized state before a run.
  • Force: The system likely depends on governance metadata being present
  • Force: Repeated runs should not require repeated manual setup
  • Force: Initialization should be explicit rather than hidden inside services
