# Evaluator Audit Charter -- Proposed (Operator-Authored)

**Fill every field below. Do not delete sections; if a field is genuinely inapplicable, mark it with an explicit reason. Placeholder strings ("TBD", "N/A", "see above", "general") will cause lock-gate failure.**

**Name-collision warning:** this file is the Evaluator's Audit Charter. It must be drafted from this template only. It must NOT be authored by editing a copy of RAM's Charter Lock document. Content overlap with RAM's Charter Lock is a HARD ERROR (`ram-charter-content-leaked-into-audit-charter`) and quarantines the audit.

## Metadata

- `audit_id`:
- `target_ram_run_id` (one or more):
- `operator_id`:
- `intake_requested_at`:

---

## Audit Questions

List the bounded set of questions this audit will answer. Each needs a stable `question_id`.

| question_id | text |
|---|---|
|  |  |

---

## Target RAM Artifacts (exhaustive)

List every RAM artifact in scope. Anything not listed triggers Signal 1.

| artifact_type | identifier |
|---|---|
|  |  |

---

## Evidence Classes Admissible

Explicit list. Across-class shifts outside this list trigger Signal 4 (NON-OVERRIDABLE; requires formal amendment).

-
-

---

## Stakeholders

Parties whose questions are answered AND parties whose evidence is consumed. Passive observers may be listed as `observer`. Adding a non-observer stakeholder mid-audit triggers Signal 3 (NON-OVERRIDABLE; requires formal amendment).

| party_id | role (audited / evidence-source / questioner / observer) |
|---|---|
|  |  |

---

## Mode per Question

For each `question_id` above, declare `artifact-check` (default) or `replication`. If `replication`, state a `replication_budget` that bounds how much re-research the Evaluator may perform per question.

| question_id | mode | replication_budget |
|---|---|---|
|  |  |  |

---

## VICTORE Declaration (all seven required)

See `references/victore-intake-template.md` for each dimension's prompt and schema. Missing or placeholder entries -> `victore-dimension-missing`.

### V -- Volitions

### I -- Implementation

### C -- Contexts

### T -- Time

### O -- Outcomes

### R -- Rivalry

### E -- Emergence

---

## Amendment Policy

- `authorized_requesters`: (who may request amendment)
- `rebaseline_rule`: `full-rebaseline` (default) or `scoped-rebaseline`
- `amendment_ceiling`: integer, default 1 per audit cycle

Amendments beyond `amendment_ceiling` produce an operator-directed diagnostic recommending charter redesign.

---

## Operator Attestation

> I confirm this charter is an independent artifact. It was drafted from this template, not by editing any RAM-side document. No text was copied from RAM's Charter Lock or derived documents.

- Operator signature:
- Attestation timestamp:

**On submission:** the Audit Charter Lock will run Phase A intake (envelope completeness -> section completeness -> VICTORE check -> cross-section consistency -> lock). On successful lock, this document is frozen and rendered into `charter-envelope-schema.json` format. Any future change requires formal amendment ceremony with re-baseline.
