# Contributed Artifacts
## Definition
Contributed Artifacts is the benchmark workspace for inspecting durable material produced through Expert Contributions. It organizes contributed **Policies**, **Rubrics**, **Cases**, and **new coverage observations** while preserving their relationship to the Contribution and expert work that produced them.
The view is a provenance and reconciliation surface. The final owner of a materialized artifact remains Correctness Governance, Assets, or Coverage Management according to artifact type.
## Fields, states, or lifecycle rules
- Policy contributions represent expert-grounded behavior rules or revisions.
- Rubric contributions represent proposed or accepted evaluation criteria tied to specialist judgment.
- Case contributions represent situations supplied or corrected through expert work.
- Coverage observations identify missing, thin, conflicting, or newly important benchmark behavior.
- A coverage observation preserves its source, proposed facet applications, and application status so an operator can distinguish a recorded observation from one incorporated into coverage structure.
- Each artifact should remain traceable to the Contribution, expert, selected evidence, task responses, and checkpoints that support it.
- Contribution completion and artifact governance are separate transitions. Inspect the artifact's owning surface before treating it as active policy, active rubric, benchmark dataset membership, or resolved coverage.
- Reconciliation can accept, revise, route, or leave material unresolved according to the active workflow.
## Interpreting contributed material
Use the artifact type to choose the next surface. A contributed policy or rubric belongs in Correctness Governance. A contributed case belongs in the project Assets pool before benchmark selection. A coverage observation belongs in Coverage Management and may motivate a Coverage Story, case construction, or another focused Contribution.
Preserve disagreements. Two experts can contribute conflicting Policy interpretations, and the artifact view should help an operator trace each interpretation rather than merge them into an invented consensus. Materialization should keep the Contribution, activity, checkpoint, expert, and scoped evidence links needed to explain why the artifact exists.
{% example-demo title="Example: contribution provenance" %}
An expert contributes a policy limiting compatibility claims, a rubric for explicit uncertainty, and a new case involving an unsupported adapter. The policy and rubric move to Correctness Governance for their lifecycle. The case enters Assets and is later selected into a benchmark dataset snapshot. All three retain the Contribution as their provenance.

# Expert Contributions
Expert Contributions is the benchmark-scoped workspace for requesting, conducting, and materializing specialist work. It coordinates the expert, objective, selected evidence, task sequence, checkpoints, attributable responses, and contributed artifacts needed to move a benchmark forward.
## Definition
The administrator workspace contains **Overview**, **Contributions**, **Contributed Artifacts**, and **Logs & Status**. **Request Contribution** opens the composer for a new contribution. The expert follows a contribution-specific experience that can contain form, chat, interview, and case-review tasks, along with checkpoints and completion states.
A Contribution is the unit of requested expert effort. It replaces broad workflow configuration with a bounded statement of what this benchmark needs from this expert now. The work can result in contributed policies, rubrics, cases, or coverage observations without flattening all expert activity into one generic approval record.
## Decision checkpoint
| Need | Contribution element | Result to inspect |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Resolve a specific benchmark question | Contribution statement and scoped objectives | The expert can explain the requested decision |
| Ground work in concrete behavior | Selected or designated cases | Case-level responses remain attributable |
| Supply supporting knowledge | Attachments and scoped statements | The expert sees the relevant source boundary |
| Choose the right interaction | Form, chat, interview, or case review task | Task output matches the kind of judgment needed |
| Confirm consequential learning | Checkpoint | Accepted, revised, or unresolved state is explicit |
| Reuse the result | Contributed Artifacts | Policies, rubrics, cases, and coverage observations retain provenance |
## Lifecycle and status
The durable Contribution statuses are `PREPARING_DIRECTION`, `AWAITING_DIRECTION_ALIGNMENT`, `MATERIALIZING_TASKS`, `READY`, `IN_PROGRESS`, `COMPLETED`, and `CANCELLED`. The interface presents these as planning direction, waiting for alignment, preparing tasks, ready, active, completed, or cancelled. The exact task sequence can vary by Contribution.
Realtime updates and durable transitions help the administrator and expert see current progress without inventing completion. A waiting state, checkpoint, or finalization step should be shown as such. Completing the expert experience does not imply that every proposed artifact has been accepted into its project-level owner.
## Contribution evidence
Logs & Status exposes operational and engagement records. Contributed Artifacts organizes materialized or contributed cases, policies, rubrics, and new coverage observations. Correctness Governance, Assets, or Coverage Management owns the resulting project or benchmark artifact after materialization.
This model improves return on expert effort. Agents prepare focused work from project context, indexed material, benchmark cases, and unresolved questions. The expert supplies the authority; the result can be reused across standards, coverage, evaluation, and improvement.
{% example-demo title="Resolve source authority" %}
A benchmark contains cases where an operational runbook conflicts with a newer policy page. The operator requests a Contribution from the policy owner, selects the conflicting cases, attaches both sources, and uses case review plus a checkpoint. The expert establishes which source controls, contributes a scoped policy and rubric, and records one coverage observation for an unrepresented exception.

# Correctness Governance
Correctness Governance is the project-level surface for policies and rubrics. It makes the specialist standards used by expert work and benchmark evaluation inspectable, attributable, and reusable across benchmark workspaces.
## Definition
The surface has **Policies** and **Rubrics**. Policy pages describe a behavior rule, its scope, linked examples, approval state, activity, and connected rubrics. Rubric pages define testable evaluation criteria and show how they relate to cases, policies, and evaluation use.
Correctness Elicitation is the broader capability that discovers and resolves specialist judgment. Correctness Governance is the product surface that owns the resulting governed project artifacts. Expert Contributions may propose or contribute policies and rubrics, but those artifacts retain their own lifecycle and provenance.
## Decision checkpoint
| Need | Inspect or change | Boundary |
| --- | --- | --- |
| State a reusable behavior rule | Policy | Keep source and expert rationale visible |
| Decide where a rule applies | Policy scope and applicability | Do not encode broad intent only in rubric wording |
| Make the rule testable | Binary rubric | Define observable pass and fail evidence |
| Connect standards to examples | Linked cases | A linked case does not automatically belong to every benchmark |
| Review expert-originated material | Contribution provenance and approval | Contribution output is not silently governed |
| Explain evaluation movement | Policy, rubric, case, and version context | Do not rely on an aggregate score alone |
## Policies and rubrics
A policy explains what behavior should occur and why. Applicability determines the situations in which the rule controls. A rubric turns that rule into an evaluation question whose result can be traced to observable behavior. Several rubrics may operationalize different parts of one policy, and cases can help demonstrate where each rubric applies.
Rubrics should remain atomic enough to interpret. If one rubric simultaneously checks grounding, tone, escalation, and completeness, a failure does not identify the responsible behavior. Split criteria where independent failure evidence matters.
## Human and agent roles
Agents can draft possible wording, surface linked cases, identify proposed applications, and prepare follow-up questions. Experts contribute domain authority through benchmark-scoped work. Project operators inspect and maintain the governed artifacts. Approval history and activity should make the transition between proposal, contribution, and governed state visible.
Changing a project-level policy or rubric may affect several benchmarks. Before interpreting a later Run, confirm which benchmark version and standard boundary it used.
{% example-demo title="Unsupported compatibility" %}
A specialist confirms that compatibility may be claimed only when an authoritative source explicitly supports the exact equipment combination. Correctness Governance records the policy, scopes it to recommendation and validation responses, links representative cases, and defines a binary rubric that passes only when the response cites support or clearly states uncertainty.

# Coverage Management
Coverage Management is the benchmark-scoped workspace for deciding whether the current dataset represents the behavior space the benchmark is meant to test. It connects project Coverage Facets to dataset representation, coverage guidance, Coverage Stories, case preparation, and expert contribution requests.
## Definition
Project Coverage Facets define reusable Dimensions, Project Topics, and Case Construction Patterns. Coverage Management applies those foundations to one benchmark. **Get Started** establishes benchmark coverage guidance. The overview shows representation and operational status. Coverage Stories organize meaningful slices or gaps. Case Review inspects prepared cases and materials. Case Foundry coordinates case construction work.
The goal is to make missing or thin behavior explicit before evaluation evidence is trusted. Coverage Management does not replace Benchmark Datasets; it explains and improves the representation of the selected data.
## Decision checkpoint
| Observation | Use | Next durable result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Benchmark purpose or guidance is missing | Get Started | Saved coverage setup and readiness |
| A facet tuple is thin or absent | Representation and Coverage Stories | Named coverage need and intended evidence |
| More cases are needed | Case Foundry | Bounded construction work tied to the gap |
| Generated cases may be unclear | Case Review | Reviewed case and material quality |
| Specialist judgment is required | Contribution request from coverage context | Benchmark-scoped Expert Contribution |
| Coverage changed materially | Benchmark Datasets | Updated selection and snapshot boundary |
## Coverage Stories and case work
A Coverage Story gives a gap or behavior slice an operational narrative: why it matters, which facet combinations define it, what evidence exists, and what sourcing work remains. It should be concrete enough to guide case construction and expert attention.
Case Foundry can prepare case work from that structure. Case Review checks the resulting inputs and generated materials before they enter trusted dataset evidence. AI assistance can accelerate preparation, but selection and benchmark interpretation remain explicit human and product-state decisions.
## Coverage and correctness
Coverage gaps sometimes reveal missing correctness rather than missing cases. If experts cannot say how a represented situation should be judged, request an Expert Contribution and update policies or rubrics. If the standard is clear but no case exercises it, use Weave and Case Foundry. If cases exist but are not selected or snapshotted, use Benchmark Datasets.
This routing prevents Comparison Directions, Contribution-scoped agent behavior, and coverage structure from being mixed together. Comparison Directions guide response variation; Coverage Facets and Coverage Stories describe the benchmark behavior space.
{% example-demo title="Conflicting-source story" %}
Representation shows that the benchmark covers current-source questions but almost never combines them with a plausible superseded document. A Coverage Story names the conflict pattern, relevant source-freshness and impact facets, and the desired case count. Case Foundry prepares candidates, Case Review rejects unrealistic material, and the accepted cases enter a new dataset snapshot.
