    {"principle":"Primary-source first","meaning":"Institution-controlled sources are the default evidence for selection mechanics."},
    {"principle":"Atomic evidence","meaning":"One governed signal states one narrow fact wherever practicable."},
    {"principle":"Bounded answers","meaning":"Answers preserve programme, market, route, cycle and date boundaries."},
    {"principle":"Unknown is a valid result","meaning":"Failed research does not become a claim that a programme or practice does not exist."},
    {"principle":"Observation is not causality","meaning":"ECS practitioner experience and candidate outcomes are labelled separately from employer-published facts."},
    {"principle":"Change is verified","meaning":"A webpage edit becomes longitudinal intelligence only after its substantive meaning is verified."},
    {"principle":"Corrections compound trust","meaning":"When evidence changes or a claim is too broad, the governed record is corrected rather than defended for marketing reasons."}
