# Corpus

Source documents for the synthesized response corpus (#30). Archived 2026-08-03
because #22 read them from live URLs and kept nothing — and its ninth hazard was
that live procurement PDFs 403 or return bot-challenge HTML without warning.

All seven retrieved successfully; none of the 403s #22 hit recurred.

## Authoring anchors — solicitations we can write responses to

| Path | Pages | Why |
|---|---|---|
| `friendship-pcs/rfp.pdf` | 52 | Grocery, nested rubric, closest to the retail domain. Its price sheet is a separate Excel attachment, which exercises #22's second extraction hazard. |
| `slc-airport/rfp.pdf` | 142 | Richest binding structure — paragraph headings A–M restated verbatim. Has a shortlist-for-interviews stage that exercises the `finalist` release level. |

## Validation artifact — not a solicitation

`tarrant-county/rfp.pdf` (1pp) is an **award tabulation**, not an RFP. No
requirements, so nothing can be written against it. What it holds is the only
real published outcome in the set:

Three vendors inside 1.19 points. This is what ranking arithmetic gets checked
against — the only place in the corpus where our maths can be wrong in a way
that is detectable rather than self-consistent. It is also concrete evidence for
storing fractional scores: rounding erases this result entirely.

## Reference — rubric and pricing shapes, not authored against

| Path | Pages | Why |
|---|---|---|
| `reference/salt-lake-county-scoring-criteria.pdf` | 3 | A second 0–5 scale with incompatible labels — the evidence that scales are per-document. |
| `reference/nevada-asd-401-eval-worksheet.pdf` | 1 | The generic default rubric procurement offices reach for. |
| `reference/maryland-dgs-mbe-forms.pdf` | 27 | Nested percentage compliance — a constraint program, not a field. |
| `reference/arkansas-unit-price-bid-sheet.pdf` | 4 | Rate-function pricing: unit × frequency × quantity. |

## Corrections to #22's record

- SLC Airport is **142pp**, not 55pp.
- Maryland MBE forms are **27pp**, not 20pp.
- Tarrant County was described as a document with a score tabulation; it is
  *only* a tabulation, which changes its role in the corpus.
