# Preliminary Acceptance Matrix

| Dimension | Measurable requirement | Evidence now | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hierarchy | Primary Focus identifiable within 3 seconds; one surface carries at least 60% of visual weight | Gate 1 scenes | Accepted design constraint |
| Restraint | No more than three elevated objects; no permanent multi-panel dashboard | Gate 1 and Gate 2B.1 | Accepted/current evidence |
| Continuity | Realm, Focus, selected objects, and conversation persist through instruments and expanded Elements | Gate 1 scenes | Accepted design constraint |
| Realm difference | Scenes differ through intelligence, Stance, contribution, authority, and Records—not decorative themes | Gate 2B.1 | Review open |
| Field activity | At most one quiet, material attention signal in focused primary scenes | Gate 2B.1 | Review open |
| Consequence | Consequential actions expose a Gate before action and a Record after action | Palo Alto and Gate 2B.1 | Pattern evidence |
| Clinical trust | Source applicability, uncertainty, clinician review, privacy, and non-diagnosis limits are visible | Inner Clinic | Review open; no production compliance claim |
| Collective trust | Private reflection is not collective Wisdom without explicit contribution and eligible scope | Nature of Work | Review open; policy authority missing |
| Historical trust | Original, recollection, reconstruction, rights, visibility, redaction, release, and correction remain distinguishable | 2nd Cavalry | Review open; archive authority missing |
| Accessibility | Keyboard focus, semantic controls, reduced motion, legible contrast, and non-color meaning are testable | Shared shell and Design Lab controls | Foundation required |
| Isolation | Prototype uses fictional deterministic data and no production service, secret, payment, wallet, or database client | Automated isolation audit | Passed |
| Taxonomy | No prototype term becomes canon without a recorded canonical decision | Taxonomy impact log | No taxonomy change |

This matrix is not the final Gate 7 acceptance suite. Exceptional and recovery states remain incomplete until Gate 2B.2.
