31 requirements (13 mandatory gates, 5 certification forms, 11 narrative,
1 pricing, 1 compliance schedule), 12 criteria across two levels, and three
labelled known-misses.
The known-misses are drawn from the document rather than invented:
KM-1 Schedule C holds no prices; content is in an external Excel file,
and pricing is 40 of 100 points
KM-2 a mandatory submission stated only inside a parenthetical within a
scored criterion's description in Section K
KM-3 'Response to values statement' carries no obligation verb and is
mandatory only by virtue of the checklist eleven pages earlier
validate-truth.py checks reference integrity and weight sums; these files
are hand-authored, so nothing else checks them.

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.

52 | Grocery, nested rubric, closest to the retail domain. Its price sheet is a separate Excel attachment, which exercises #22's second extraction hazard. |

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:

PRIMARY SECONDARY ALTERNATE
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.

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.
