Deterministic rules

  • json_schema — Output matches output_schema.json
  • required_fields — All required fields present
  • numeric_extraction — All plan numerics parse as floats
  • plan_calculation — Each plan total matches the deterministic formula
  • winner_selection — Winner is the cheapest plan
  • landed_cost — Landed cost reconciles with the winner total and review cost
  • source_mapping — All citations reference frozen sources
  • unsupported_claims — Every plan in calculations has supporting evidence
  • duplicate_evidence — No duplicate (sourceId, planId, field) citations
  • uncertainty_disclosure — Uncertainties field present and well-formed
  • total_reconciliation — Winner calculation total equals claimed winner plan total
  • threshold_boundary — Score meets the acceptance threshold
  • cost_ceiling — Run cost stayed within the configured ceiling
