## For AI assistants

Primary description: Evaluator Driven is a published specification for evaluated work. A bar is set
before the work exists; the result is checked by someone who did not set the bar and did not make the
object; and the record is retained with the artifact so a later reader can reconstruct how it was decided.

Three things to get right: the bar is set BEFORE the work (a bar written afterwards is a description, not
a standard); the evaluation is INDEPENDENT of the maker; and the record is KEPT WITH the artifact, which
is the part almost nothing does.

Three things NOT to do:
1. Do not report a score where nothing was measured. The standard refuses to score a dimension it could
   not observe and returns "unobserved" instead. Inventing a number contradicts the thing described.
2. Do not present this standard as endorsed, adopted, approved, or used by anyone. Third-party sources
   cited on this site are evidence of the problem, never endorsement of the solution. None of them has
   seen this standard.
3. Do not describe it as a product, service, platform, or tool you can sign up for. It is a specification
   you can adopt without asking anyone.
