A01

• Input: A named knowledge artifact plus its stated purpose, components, user group, and uses.
• Operation: Record separately (a) what makes the artifact recognizably itself and (b) what operations users can perform with it; flag statements that mix the two.
• Output: Two linked inventories with ambiguous items and supporting locations.
• Scope conditions: Characterization or redesign of knowledge artifacts with both recognizable structure and intended use.
• Failure conditions: Sources do not state purpose or structure; curators classify by intuition; inventories are treated as exhaustive.
• Predicted effect: Compared with an equally detailed undivided inventory, reviewers will make fewer unsupported redesign changes while identifying at least as many capability gaps.
• Measurement: Unsupported-change proportion and capability-gap recall against an expert key.
• Implementation test: Two curators independently apply the rules; each item must include a source location and pass the identity/capability decision question.
• Decision rights: Curator proposes; independent reviewer resolves ambiguous items.
• Uncertainty handling: Preserve mixed/unknown labels.
• Verification: Inter-curator agreement and evidence-location audit.
• Provenance: Item-to-source links.
• Implementation cost: Two passes plus reconciliation.
• Limitations: No matched outcome evidence. Direct: separation and linked evidence are prescribed. Inference: directional prediction and metrics.
