This registry does not replace source records or the repository's existing claims registry. It gives the evaluation stable handles and preserves limitations.
| ID | Type and citation | Date | Relevance and reliability | Limitations | Supports | Contradicts | Corroboration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EV-FE-001 | Theory record: research/theory/theory-of-framework-engineering-v0.1.md |
repository baseline | Primary internal synthesis; direct for declared theory state | Same program authored it; not external validation | narrow methodology definition; provisional grammar claims | discipline-level certainty | EV-FE-002 |
| EV-FE-002 | Confidence and alternatives: confidence-assessment.md, competing-explanations.md, traceability matrix |
repository baseline | Primary internal critical records; high reliability for declared confidence | Confidence assignment is qualitative | all major claims below High; live generic-scaffolding explanation | claims of settled effectiveness | EV-FE-001 |
| EV-FE-003 | ECR-000003 findings, explainability summary, board summary | 2026-07 | Direct internal experiment output and synthesis | no accepted human baseline; recognition, provider, comparator threats; board summary proposal-only | backbone persistence; detailed disagreement; instrument executability | uniform representation independence; clean convergence | multiple experiment layers internally, not independent externally |
| EV-FE-004 | build-reports/validation-diagnostics.json |
2026-07-23 | Executable publisher observation; high reliability for metadata diagnostics | compatibility-mode warnings do not prove records are unusable | incomplete stable-ID implementation; maintenance burden | claim of complete machine traceability | direct count: 1,010 missing-ID warnings |
| EV-FE-005 | ECR-000003 HYPOTHESIS-REVIEW-BOARD-DECISION.md and summary |
2026-07 | Primary governance state; high reliability | blank record may be awaiting imminent action | proposal is not accepted; human gate exists | any claim that proposed updates are canonical | CURRENT_STATE.md directs human review |
| EV-FE-006 | Repository inventory and git history at 214c08f |
2026-07-23 | Direct observation; high for file counts and lineage clues | filenames/history cannot establish scientific authority | scale, artifact diversity, recent focus | simple/small-system characterization | publisher inventory |
| EV-FE-007 | CONSTITUTION.md, RESEARCH_CHARTER.md, FRAMEWORK-ENGINEERING-PRINCIPLES.md |
mixed | Primary normative sources | draft status; assertions are not evidence | evidence-first intent; proposed governance | treating evidence as subordinate to canon | theory's falsification posture |
| EV-FE-008 | CURRENT_STATE.md, research memory index, review status |
repository baseline | Primary orientation documents | internal duplication and possible staleness | current phase and immediate human gate | inference that newest generated file is authoritative | EV-FE-005 |
Evidence gaps
No reviewed source supplies a controlled comparison against an adjacent discipline, blinded human cold-start continuation, measured provenance cost-benefit, safe parallel-agent trial, or general framework-generation outcome study. These absences justify “unknown,” not failure.
