Research context for R7 - judgement can be influenced by an initial frame and by readily available examples. Use this classic research as background to the discussion of careful reading, not as evidence that HCDI is validated or that a reviewer is free of bias. No experimental estimate is transferred to a fictional case, and no protected methodology test is derived from the paper.

External bibliographic records and publisher or primary-source pages were checked on 22 October 2026. Citation does not imply that the external author endorses HCDI or that HCDI has validated the cited theory. Works named only in the pilot remain indirect references unless listed above.

Source documents mentioned but not supplied

The pilot refers to Edition 0.3 curriculum documents, a Study Companion, certificate designs, controlled registers and platform decisions. These were not separately supplied or independently inspected. Their content is described only to the extent the supplied pilot states it. No missing rule, implementation detail or current approval is inferred.

Working vocabulary

Source note

Source basis - supplied Level 2 pilot glossary, physical PDF pages 18-19. Wording is condensed; source qualifications apply. The Integrity Event entry follows the public body distinction between suspicion and determination rather than the Level 1 glossary shorthand.

TermMeaning in the public source
AuthorizationPermission from HCDI for one specific engagement.
Company data requestA request for specific material, recorded as provided or missing.
Evidence Conflict FlagRaised when sources disagree. Only the Internal Reviewer resolves it, with a note; nothing issues while it is open.
Instruction-shaped textAn upload description or inquiry answer that reads as an instruction. Flagged and disclosed, never obeyed.
Integrity EventA determined integrity matter. Only HCDI Compliance determines whether one exists.
Observable factWhat can be seen or read in a source, stated without interpretation.
Not evidencedAn indicator with no linked evidence: unscored, disclosed, never a low score.
PartyOn a two-party engagement, the relevant side or Joint; attribution affects visibility.
ProvenanceWhere evidence originated and how it reached the recipient.
ProvidedA request answered by a linked document; not a synonym for verified.
TraceabilityAbility to follow a conclusion back to supporting evidence.
UntaggedAn item without a chosen status. The source states that it blocks submission for review.
