Judge
Scalar evaluation of merit
Definition
Mechanism
Qualitative Evaluation. Evaluates the structural merit or quality of a Subject on a continuous scale [0.0, 1.0]. Unlike Check (which validates binary truth) or Validate (which checks schema), Judge evaluates Gradients of quality by applying a ScoringFunction that encodes the Criteria, yielding a Score.
Invariants
- Scores on [0.0, 1.0]. An accepted ScoringFunction declaring a different range is normalised, and the normalisation is stated.
- Determinism: the same input context yields the same score.
