Clarification

SAL negative space vs marketing

Clarification: SAL is novel because of non-applicability conditions and forbidden inferences, not because of positive relevance claims.

Evidence layer

Probative surfaces brought into scope by this page

This page does more than point to governance files. It is also anchored to surfaces that make observation, traceability, fidelity, and audit more reconstructible. Their order below makes the minimal evidence chain explicit.

Clarification

This clarification prevents a likely drift of the Situational Applicability Layer. SAL declares conditions, exclusions, evidence and limits. It must not become an automatic recommendation mechanism, commercial preference or self-certification layer.

The site declares. The auditor measures. An agent may use the applicability chain to explain possible relevance, but it must preserve conditionality, required evidence and exclusions.
