Evidence note

  • Question and expected behavior:
  • Basis for the expectation: Requirement, contract, or separately established baseline.
  • Source identity: Public URL, exact revision, and relevant file or artifact.
  • Evidence kind: Source inspection, fictional illustration, executed fixture, simulation, physical observation, or reported result.
  • Conditions: Inputs, environment, relevant state, and known substitutions.
  • Procedure: Command or action sequence; what was captured.
  • Observation: Include failures and exclusions as well as successes.
  • Comparison: Baseline, changed condition, and any unmatched conditions.
  • Interpretation: Which claim the observation supports.
  • Limits: What it leaves unmeasured or cannot distinguish.
  • Decision: Adopt, reject, investigate further, or leave unresolved.
  • Next check: What observation would change the decision?

Use “reported” when relying on another author's result. Use “reproduced” only when recording the execution and conditions that reproduced it.
