Specification Summary
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| Benchmark Method | The benchmark compares architecture classes, not vendors. The absence of public documentation is not treated as absence of capability. Raven is positioned only as a possible complementary decision-evidence layer until pilot evidence supports a stronger claim. |
| Common Boundary Pattern | Most public architecture classes are strong at signal, data, workflow, AI, automation, or governance inside their core domain. The unresolved public question is whether the operational decision itself is preserved as a replayable, evidence-bounded, human-authority object. This creates a research hypothesis, not a sales claim. |
QA Gates
- vendor-neutrality gate
- counterargument gate
- assessment traceability gate
