Evaluation Lens Catalog & Density Matrix

Purpose: Comprehensive directory of the twelve evaluation lenses, mapping each assessment focus to its budget density class, primary Diamond Scale quality axes, authoritative rubrics, and agent prompts.

1. Lens Directory & Density Classifications

Each evaluation lens targets a discrete architectural dimension and operates under an assigned budget density class (governed by Constitution §6) to calibrate thoroughness against operational budget:

Lens ID	Focus Dimension	Density Class	Primary Axes	Authoritative Rubric	Agent Prompt Pairs
L-PREFLIGHT	Mechanical Preflight & Inventory	D-HIGH	CMP · MOD	L-PREFLIGHT Rubric	Preflight Automated (Wave 0)
L-ARCHITECTURE	Architecture & Package Boundaries	D-LOW	MNT · MOD · RDB	L-ARCHITECTURE Rubric	Specialist · Auditor
L-CODE-QUALITY	Code Quality & Craftsmanship	D-MED / D-HIGH	RDB · MNT	L-CODE-QUALITY Rubric	Specialist · Auditor
L-SECURITY	Security & Threat Modeling	D-MED	SEC · ROB	L-SECURITY Rubric	Specialist · Auditor
L-RELIABILITY	Reliability & Crash Recovery	D-MED	REL · ROB · RCV	L-RELIABILITY Rubric	Specialist · Auditor
L-OBSERVABILITY	Observability & Diagnostics	D-MED	OBS · OPS · RCV	L-OBSERVABILITY Rubric	Specialist · Auditor
L-TESTING	Test Strategy & Invariant Proofs	D-MED	TST · REL	L-TESTING Rubric	Specialist · Auditor
L-USABILITY	Developer Ergonomics & UX	D-LOW	OPS · RDB · CMP	L-USABILITY Rubric	Specialist · Auditor
L-SUPPLY-RELEASE	Supply Chain & Packaging	D-HIGH	SEC · OPS · RCV	L-SUPPLY-RELEASE Rubric	Specialist · Auditor
L-PERFORMANCE	Performance & Resource Bounds	D-MED	REL · ROB	L-PERFORMANCE Rubric	Specialist · Auditor
L-CONCURRENCY	Concurrency & Race Safety	D-MED	ROB · REL · RCV	L-CONCURRENCY Rubric	Specialist · Auditor
L-DOCS-MODEL	Documentation & Mental Model	D-LOW	RDB · OPS · CMP	L-DOCS-MODEL Rubric	Specialist · Auditor

Note

Density Split for L-CODE-QUALITY: Discrete scans (such as hardcoded literals, secret leaks, and banned APIs) are executed at D-HIGH exhaustive density. Broad code style, formatting philosophies, and naming patterns are evaluated at D-LOW Top-N density.

2. Lens Catalog Governance & Principles

Design Advantage	Operational Risk & Invariant
Comprehensive coverage of ISO/IEC 25010 and real-world production engineering disciplines.	Overlap between concurrency, reliability, and performance is arbitrated and deduped by the lead integrator in Wave 4.
Budget density classes prevent agents from producing unproductive, speculative essays.	Wave execution plans freeze density classes to prevent evaluators from arbitrarily downgrading thoroughness.
Decouples superficial code appearance from production operability, observability, and recoverability.	Developer usability (`L-USABILITY`) remains mandatory for systems with CLI, API, or configuration interfaces.
