Objectives carry priorities. Constraints are hard or soft. Measurement bindings name whether evidence should **improve**, **preserve**, or **reduce** a canonical Case, Policy, Rubric, metric, or other admitted reference. Intervention constraints state what work may change. Unresolved items remain explicit until the contract can be confirmed safely.\n\nEvery requested outcome needs an observable binding. “Make answers better” is not measurable; “improve the selected grounding Rubric while preserving the selected uncertainty Cases” is. A hard constraint disqualifies a candidate when violated. A soft constraint records a tradeoff that still requires review."},{"blockId":"improve.goal-contracts#revisions-and-confirmation","pageId":"improve.goal-contracts","title":"Revisions and confirmation","pageTitle":"Goal Contracts","url":"https://teammately.ai/docs/improve/goal-contracts.md","humanUrl":"https://teammately.ai/docs/improve/goal-contracts#revisions-and-confirmation","markdownUrl":"https://teammately.ai/docs/improve/goal-contracts.md","sectionId":"revisions-and-confirmation","kind":"reference","productArea":"improve","score":398.3884120228857,"reasons":["search_match","page_title_match","term_match","prefix_or_fuzzy_match"],"markdown":"### Revisions and confirmation\n\nGoal Contract revisions can be proposed, confirmed, superseded, or rejected.
