Governed Autonomy · run it · tests

The gate battery, and the contract it runs under.

One hundred and thirty declared tests in thirty-four families, none yet run; the test contract, its parameters and clauses; and seventeen KPIs that are never averaged.

The KTP mechanism

Proof of Resilience: standing is earned under stress, and a result nobody witnessed is not a result.

KTP earns trust by surviving conditions, witnessed. The battery says what a blue-zone gate must survive before anyone cites a result: every decision enforced at the target, witnessed by something other than the gate, with every bad-outcome count at zero. A missing witness record makes a result inconclusive, never a pass. Every test here is declared and NOT_RUN, and says so.
The working form, from the workbook
Each test: what is done, what must and must not happen, who acts, who witnesses, what is counted, and the positive control and variants beside it. The contract: eighteen parameters the lab declares, thirteen clauses, reference readings of the four verbs, the Silent Veto, the Soul veto and undefined inputs, and seventeen battery KPIs in six groups. The contract is hashed before the first trial.

Acequia, Inc. is an invented organization. These pages present a working design, not deployment results; its contracted stages and change freezes are illustrative. The sections below mirror the Governed Autonomy workbook (v0.50): its columns, rules, invariants and catalogs, as written, with the worked example's organization named as it is there. The deployment's own rows, parties, contract identifiers and configuration stay with the deployment; where a table's rows stay, its columns are shown.

01The gate batteryworkbook tab 37 · Lab tests

Three families that describe one lab's own profile stay with it; the rest travel. Status and Result are empty until a run fills them.

What this is for. The tests a blue-zone gate must pass before anyone cites a result: one gate, one ring, every decision enforced at the target and witnessed by something other than the gate.

Read a row left to right: what is done, what must and must not happen, who acts, who witnesses, what is counted. How to use it. A run fills Status and Result. A missing witness record makes the result INCONCLUSIVE, never PASS.

Generated from the commons pack packs/blue-zone-tests (tests.json, crosswalk.json) by the workbook's build. Pass rule: trials meet the plan; every bad-outcome count is 0; every coverage-gap count is 0; every bounded scalar is within its CONTRACT.md bound; a missing witness record makes the result INCONCLUSIVE, never PASS; a judgement measurement needs the reviewer's signed note. Bounds and contract IDs resolve on the Test contract and KPIs tab. Refuses and At point read each test against §5 (drafted, not ratified). Work types are IDs. T25 to T27 are this lab's profile; the rest travel.

02The test contract and KPIsworkbook tab 38 · Test contract and KPIs

Parameters, clauses, readings and KPIs on one tab. The reference reading of the four verbs matches KTP-Core: derived from the result, never an enumerated type.

What this is for. Every bound and rule a lab test cites, declared before the first trial, and the readings a run produces.

Values are the lab's to declare; a test that cites an undeclared row cannot run. How to use it. Find the ID a Lab tests row cites. Read KPIs as counts, worst cases and coverage, never as a mean.

Generated from CONTRACT.md and KPIS.md in the commons pack by the workbook's build. Parameters P bound scalar measurements; clauses C are rules the tests call declared, selected or admitted. The contract is hashed into the run manifest before the first trial; a value set after a trial voids it. KPIs aggregate by count, worst case and coverage. Unknown counts travel beside every aggregate.
