Canonseal
Score an established option by the same criteria and evidence as its alternatives
Definition
Mechanism
When an established Option is compared with alternatives, it is scored by the same Criteria and the same standard of evidence as they are. Its reputation, age or adoption is recorded separately; it may break a tie, but it is not counted as a criterion.
Invariants
- The established option and the alternatives are scored on the same criteria.
- Reputation, age and adoption are recorded separately from the criteria.
