## 2. Evaluation Type Resolution

All 12 evaluation types defined in `evaluation_ontology.json` are internally self-consistent. Each `evaluation_id` is unique, each `calculation_method` references only standard statistical operations, and all threshold structures follow the `acceptable / warning / failure` schema.

| evaluation_id | name | metric_type | unit | Corpus Referenced By |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ET-001 | accuracy | ratio | proportion [0–1] | CORPUS-001 (×4), CORPUS-002 (×4) |
| ET-002 | precision | ratio | proportion [0–1] | CORPUS-001 (×1), CORPUS-002 (×1) |
| ET-003 | recall | ratio | proportion [0–1] | CORPUS-001 (×2), CORPUS-002 (×2) |
| ET-004 | f1_score | ratio | proportion [0–1] | CORPUS-001 (×1), CORPUS-002 (×1) |
| ET-005 | latency | duration | ms | CORPUS-001 (×2), CORPUS-002 (×2) |
| ET-006 | cost | currency | USD/invocation | CORPUS-001 (×1), CORPUS-002 (×1) |
| ET-007 | reliability | ratio | proportion [0–1] | CORPUS-001 (×1), CORPUS-002 (×1) |
| ET-008 | robustness | ratio | degradation [0–1] | CORPUS-001 (×1), CORPUS-002 (×1) |
| ET-009 | safety | ratio | safe_output_rate | CORPUS-001 (×0), CORPUS-002 (×0) |
| ET-010 | hallucination_rate | ratio | proportion [0–1, ↓] | CORPUS-001 (×1), CORPUS-002 (×1) |
| ET-011 | task_success_rate | ratio | proportion [0–1] | CORPUS-001 (×1), CORPUS-002 (×1) |
| ET-012 | user_satisfaction | score | normalized [0–1] | CORPUS-001 (×2), CORPUS-002 (×2) |

**Finding:** ET-009 (safety) is defined in the ontology but is not referenced by any evaluation requirement in CORPUS-001 or CORPUS-002. Both corpus entries include `tool_execution` (CAP-009) as a P0 capability. Per ET-009 notes: _"Safety evaluation is mandatory for any agent with tool execution capability (CAP-009)."_ This is an **evaluation coverage gap** — see Section 6.

## 3. Capability Mapping Compatibility

### 3.1 Capabilities with Full Evaluation Mappings

The following 7 capabilities have complete evaluation mappings defined in `evaluation_ontology.json`:

All 7 mappings reference valid `evaluation_id` values. No dangling references detected.

### 3.2 CAP-001 Special Model Verification

The CAP-001 evaluation model fulfills all requirements specified in the task:

| Requirement | Status | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| benchmark_methodology | ✅ PRESENT | Three-tier benchmark (surface, structural, semantic) |
| scoring_model | ✅ PRESENT | Composite formula: (T1×0.35)+(T2×0.35)+(T3×0.30) |

### 3.3 Capabilities WITHOUT Evaluation Mappings (Missing)

The following capabilities appear in corpus entries or the capability ontology but have **no evaluation mapping** in `evaluation_ontology.json`:

| cap_id | name | P0 in Corpus | Corpus Entries | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CAP-009 | tool_execution | ✅ Yes (both) | CORPUS-001, CORPUS-002 | **CRITICAL** — ET-009 mandatory per note |
| CAP-011 | planning_and_decomposition | P1 | CORPUS-001, CORPUS-002 | HIGH |
| CAP-013 | self_evaluation | P0 (both) | CORPUS-001, CORPUS-002 | **CRITICAL** |
| CAP-018 | long_term_memory_storage | P1 | CORPUS-001, CORPUS-002 | MEDIUM |
| CAP-019 | semantic_retrieval | P1 | CORPUS-001, CORPUS-002 | MEDIUM |

| CAP-034 | multi_step_reasoning | P0 (CORPUS-002) | CORPUS-002 | **CRITICAL** |

**4 capabilities are P0 in corpus entries with no evaluation mapping: CAP-009, CAP-013, CAP-033, CAP-034.**

## 4. Corpus Entry Compatibility

### 4.1 CORPUS-001 (support/CORPUS-001.json)

**Goal class:** `reactive_agent` | **Domain:** `support`

Evaluation requirements declared in CORPUS-001:

## 5. Capability Ontology Compatibility

The `capability_ontology.json` defines capabilities using a canonical `cap_id`, `name`, `category`, and `dependencies` schema. All 7 capability IDs referenced in `evaluation_ontology.json` were verified against `capability_ontology.json`:

| cap_id | Present in capability_ontology.json | Name Match | Category Match |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAP-001 | ✅ | text_understanding | comprehension |
| CAP-003 | ✅ | intent_classification | comprehension |
| CAP-005 | ✅ | short_term_context_management | memory |
| CAP-017 | ✅ | response_generation | generation |
| CAP-023 | ✅ | structured_data_generation | generation |
| CAP-025 | ✅ | multi_modal_understanding | comprehension |
| CAP-028 | ✅ | output_validation | quality_assurance |

**Result: 0 conflicts. All 7 mapped capabilities resolve cleanly to capability_ontology.json.**

---

## 6. Goal Ontology Compatibility

The `goal_ontology.json` defines goal classes (`reactive_agent`, `autonomous_agent`, `workflow_agent`, etc.) and associates evaluation thresholds with each class. The `evaluation_ontology.json` evaluation types are goal-class-agnostic — they define universal metrics that apply regardless of goal class. No conflicts were detected.

The `evaluation_execution_protocol` in `evaluation_ontology.json` references `P0`, `P1`, and `P2` priority tiers consistent with goal_ontology.json priority schema.

**Result: 0 conflicts.**

---

## 7. Ontology Conflicts

No conflicts detected between `evaluation_ontology.json` and any of:
- `capability_ontology.json`
- `goal_ontology.json`
- `CORPUS-001.json`
- `CORPUS-002.json`

All threshold values in `evaluation_ontology.json` capability mappings are equal to or higher than the minimum thresholds declared in corpus entries for the same capabilities.

---

## 8. Missing Mappings Registry

The following capability mappings are absent from `evaluation_ontology.json` and require addition in a future ontology revision. Ranked by severity:

| Priority | cap_id | name | Reason | Blocking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | CAP-009 | tool_execution | P0 in both corpus entries; ET-009 mandatory per safety note | Yes — ET-009 cannot be enforced without mapping |
| 2 | CAP-013 | self_evaluation | P0 in both corpus entries; no evaluation model defined | Yes — P0 with no eval standard |
| 3 | CAP-033 | context_window_management | P0 in CORPUS-002; no evaluation model | Yes — P0 with no eval standard |
| 4 | CAP-034 | multi_step_reasoning | P0 in CORPUS-002; no evaluation model | Yes — P0 with no eval standard |
| 5 | CAP-011 | planning_and_decomposition | P1 in both entries; ET-011 applicable but not mapped | No — P1, waiver possible |
| 6 | CAP-026 | hallucination_detection | P1 in both entries; ET-010 adjacent but distinct | No — P1, waiver possible |
| 7 | CAP-019 | semantic_retrieval | P1 in both entries | No |
| 8 | CAP-018 | long_term_memory_storage | P1 in both entries | No |
| 9 | CAP-020 | episodic_memory | P2 in both entries | No — P2 non-blocking |

---

## 9. Recommended Fixes

Ranked by severity. All fixes are ontology-level additions — no existing definitions require modification.

1. **Add CAP-009 mapping** — define `tool_execution` evaluation using ET-009 (safety) as primary metric; ET-001 for tool_call_correctness, ET-007 for reliability of tool invocations. This unblocks ET-009 enforcement.
2. **Add CAP-013 mapping** — define `self_evaluation` using ET-001 on self-correction accuracy, ET-010 on hallucination introduced during self-correction.
3. **Add CAP-033 mapping** — define `context_window_management` building on CAP-005 scoring model, extending to context eviction accuracy and retrieval precision under memory pressure.
4. **Add CAP-034 mapping** — define `multi_step_reasoning` using ET-011 (task_success_rate) as primary metric across multi-hop reasoning chains of varying depth.
5. **Add CAP-011, CAP-026, CAP-019, CAP-018, CAP-020 mappings** — lower priority P1/P2 gap closure.

## 10. Audit Verdict

| Domain | Status |
|---|---|
| Evaluation type definitions | ✅ Complete — 12/12 types fully specified |
| CAP-001 special model | ✅ Complete — 4/4 requirements satisfied |
| Capability mappings (requested set) | ✅ Complete — 7/7 requested mappings present |
| Corpus evaluation reference resolution | ⚠️ Partial — 10/14 fully resolved, 4 partially resolved |
| Capability ontology cross-reference | ✅ No conflicts |
| Goal ontology cross-reference | ✅ No conflicts |
| P0 capability coverage | ⚠️ Gap — 4 P0 capabilities lack evaluation mappings (CAP-009, CAP-013, CAP-033, CAP-034) |
| Overall verdict | **COMPATIBLE WITH GAPS** |

The `evaluation_ontology.json` v1.0 is structurally sound and compatible with all existing ontology and corpus artifacts. The gaps identified (missing P0 capability mappings) do not invalidate the existing ontology but represent required additions before those capabilities can be gated in the evaluation execution protocol.
