Criteria Checklist
| ID | Criterion | Candidate votes | District stats | Overall | Evidence | Disclosure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AERL-PUB-01 | Fixed release ID | meets | meets | meets | Release 2026-05-03-v050 is fixed. Evidence appendix: aerl-20260208-hr-evidence-appendix.md. | Cite the release ID, not a mutable latest route alone. |
| AERL-PUB-02 | Public manifest or file list | meets | meets | meets | Release manifest resolves 94 components and 378 files. Evidence appendix: aerl-20260208-hr-evidence-appendix.md. | File role must be read with the manifest. |
| AERL-PUB-03 | Stable core fact roles | meets | meets | meets | fact_candidate_votes.csv and fact_district_stats.csv are core fact roles. | A core file role is not the same as official certification. |
| AERL-PUB-04 | File identity and hashes | meets | meets | meets | Manifest hash errors: 0; current pointer hash errors: 0; latest hash differences: 0. Evidence appendix: aerl-20260208-hr-evidence-appendix.md. | Use fixed release files when current/latest differs from the release. |
| AERL-PUB-05 | Public-safe source basis | meets | meets | meets | Source register rows for this scope: 195. Evidence appendix: aerl-20260208-hr-evidence-appendix.md. | Source basis supports traceability; it does not make the dataset official. |
| AERL-PUB-06 | Structural validity | meets | meets | meets | Files follow expected CSV roles and row structure. | Row structure is not the same as complete or legally certified values. |
| AERL-PUB-07 | Semantic validity | meets_with_warnings | meets | meets | Candidate missing rows: 0; stats missing rows: 0. Evidence appendix: aerl-20260208-hr-evidence-appendix.md. | Missing markers and residual notes must remain visible. |
| AERL-PUB-08 | Numerical consistency | meets_for_report_grade | meets | meets | Candidate rows: 27309; stats rows: 3856. Evidence appendix: aerl-20260208-hr-evidence-appendix.md. | Do not extend candidate-vote readiness to unsupported stat-value claims. |
| AERL-PUB-09 | Provenance support | meets | meets | conditional | Release metadata and source register support traceability. | Public provenance does not make the dataset official. |
| AERL-PUB-10 | Reproducibility | meets | meets | meets | Release ID, manifest, file roles, and hashes fix the comparison boundary. Evidence appendix: aerl-20260208-hr-evidence-appendix.md. | Reproduction must use the stated release boundary. |
| AERL-PUB-11 | Residual disclosure | meets | meets | meets | The graph-data gap is closed for repo data use; deploy surfaces are separate. Evidence appendix: aerl-20260208-hr-evidence-appendix.md. | Carry this residual note into public/front use. |
| AERL-PUB-12 | Public boundary | meets | meets | meets | Public docs use release IDs, public keys, and public-safe source fields. | Internal logs are not required for normal public citation. |
| AERL-PUB-13 | Claim boundary | meets | meets | meets | Allowed and forbidden claims are explicitly separated. Evidence appendix: aerl-20260208-hr-evidence-appendix.md. | Block official-certification, legal-authority, truth-proof, and unsupported completeness claims. |
| AERL-PUB-14 | Human review for R5+ | not_met | not_met | not_met_for_R5_or_higher | This checklist is not a completed human hearing/legal review package. | Do not use this release as R5, R6, or R7 evidence without further review. |
2026 HR release 2026-05-03-v050 is suitable for report-grade public review within the fixed release boundary. It is project-canonical, not official certification, legal authority, or proof of truth.
