Independent validators challenge evidence, ordering, consequence, and alternative explanations before a path is accepted.
Governed APC validation pipeline from candidate path through evidence, sequence, consequence, critic, correction, and analyst review.
Validation pipeline
- 1Candidate pathAssemble a proposed chain from findings, graph relationships, and contextual evidence.
- 2Evidence validatorCheck whether each step has sufficient and correctly scoped support.
- 3Sequence validatorChallenge prerequisites, ordering, and transition feasibility.
- 4Consequence validatorBound the supported outcome and reject exaggerated impact.
- 5Adversarial criticSearch for contradictions, missing alternatives, and unjustified inference.
- 6Correction loopRevise, split, downgrade, or reject the candidate path.
Retest loop returns to Evidence validator
What state does the path support?
