Scoring Framework
Defines the scoring model used by a governed context that explicitly adopts scoring.

Scoring Standard
The Scoring Standard defines how scores are measured, weighted, calculated, interpreted, and communicated in governed contexts that explicitly adopt scoring.
Its current primary application is certification-related evaluation. It does not create generalized Suite-wide scoring authority or require every Suite institution to use a scoring model.
Score Components
Defines the individual factors, weights, provenance, and calculation rules contributing to a governed score.
BoundedScore Interpretation
Defines how a score may inform a governed determination without independently creating authority or status.
BoundedScore Consistency
Preserves repeatability and comparability only when the governing conditions, versions, evidence, criteria, and weighting rules are materially equivalent.
EstablishedStandard Role
The Scoring Standard provides shared expectations for scoring where scoring is explicitly adopted by the applicable standard, methodology, institutional rule, or governed process.
Scoring Standard ≠ generalized Suite-wide scoring authority.
Score ≠ institutional authority.
Score ≠ Trust Statement.
Score ≠ universal trust status.
Score ≠ institutional authority.
Score ≠ Trust Statement.
Score ≠ universal trust status.
Adoption Boundary
The Scoring Standard is Suite-wide as a standards surface, but scoring is not automatically Suite-wide in application. A scoring model applies only where its use is explicitly established by the applicable governing framework.
Suite-wide Standard ≠ universal scoring requirement.
Institutional adoption → explicit.
No adopted scoring model → no scoring requirement inferred.
Institutional authority remains with the institution making the governed determination.
