The vocabulary, defined once.

The same words the product prints on its screens, in the same senses.

observation: The register's record of a committed plan's evaluation against a mandate clause.
exceeded: The state of an observation whose committed plan sits past the clause's limit.
unevaluable: A committed plan a clause could not be evaluated against; recorded as such rather than guessed.
unencoded: A mandate clause proposed but not yet encoded; named on the clause list and, once the mandate is active, on every stamp's monitoring line.
attestation: One record per active clause per trader per day: measured within, exceeded, or declared unmeasured. A clause that could not be measured is listed as not a pass.
settlement pass: The daily pass that writes the attestations.
committed plan: A plan the trader has committed in conversation with DJ. Committed plans, with their evaluations, are what cross to the firm plane.
draft: A plan not yet committed. A coaching record on the trader plane; it never reaches the register.
brief: A note to the desk the trader authors, or sends from DJ's draft unedited. Sending it is the trader's act.
plane (trader, firm): The two structurally separated halves of the system. The trader plane carries the dialogue; the firm plane carries plans, evaluations, observations, and the record.
register: The Observations screen: exceeded observations grouped by trader and clause, repeat offenders first, with the worst multiple per group.
ledger: The append-only acknowledgement record, listed in Audit.
acknowledge: The officer's act of taking observations onto the record: an append-only entry with name and time. Not deletion.
unreviewed by you: The officer's own watermark: what has landed since this officer last looked. Distinct from open, which is the firm's state.
open flag: An exceeded observation with no acknowledgement. One definition on every screen; the register, the Desk sheet, and Analytics read the same number.
forecast (plan horizon, execution horizon): The probability that a trader's next committed plan produces an exceeded observation. The plan horizon is live and scores against the next committed plan; the execution horizon calibrates on the execution feed and is roadmap.
calibration: Forecast against realised rate over settled plans, shown per trader so a reader sees whether the number overclaims.
tiers withheld: The board's refusal to tier traders below five scored traders, or to show a figure below three prior plans. Printed in the header.
mandate clause: One encoded limit from the firm's mandate document. Its limit and denominator must be textually grounded, or it arrives as not expressible.
multiplier: The verified contract multiplier used to denominate futures plans. A plan that cannot be denominated is refused.
audit stamp: The box on every printed PDF: as-of time, generating officer, scope (desk, name filter, status), and the monitoring line naming unmonitored clauses.
