Catalog
The catalog is a complete 16 × 16 questionnaire: sixteen Scoring Factor Sets (SFSs), each with sixteen Scoring Factors (SFs), giving 256 question positions. The current catalog is an authoring draft; its positions are complete, while their definitions still need review. Both sets and questions use hexadecimal indices 0 through 9, then A through F. The uniq2me methodology explains how to assess them.
An SF is one question together with its explanations, assessment criteria, references, and supporting records. These details belong to that SF; they do not create a fourth level of questions.
How the catalog fits together
Catalog
└── 16 SFSs (set indices 0–F)
└── 16 SFs per SFS (question indices 0–F)
Each SF contains its question, criteria, and records.| Catalog element | What it contains | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| Catalog | Sixteen sets, with 256 question positions in this draft. | Browse all sets. |
| Scoring Factor Set (SFS) | Sixteen SFs grouped into one focus area. | Understand SFSs and the sixteen areas. |
| Scoring Factor (SF) | One binary question and the information needed to interpret and assess it. | Understand an SF, or open SF 1 in SFS 2. |
The example route /catalog/sets/2/1 means set 2, question 1. The manuscript's individual-result notation uses the opposite index order: (1)_12 means a satisfied answer for SF 1 in SFS 2. The SF page explains this distinction.
Definitions and assessments
The catalog defines what to ask. An assessment applies an exact definition version to a specified system and evidence period, retains the evidence and assessor judgments, and resolves the answer. One resolved SF result occupies one bit: 1 for satisfied or 0 for not satisfied. Sixteen resolved bits form an SFS result encoded as four hexadecimal digits.
The hexadecimal value records which questions are satisfied; it is not a sum, a risk estimate, or a compliance certificate. Pending evidence and unfilled authoring records do not become negative bits.
MASKS against this catalog
A requirement mask selects the questions needed for a particular check against this exact catalog. Different readers can publish masks for their own purposes and compare them with the same completed assessment. A mask preserves the selected question positions and reveals every selected requirement that remains unmet.
Visit MASKS to explore the manuscript's draft arithmetic examples, follow selected positions back to the catalog, and prepare a mask for review. These examples do not assign requirements to the current placeholder questions.
Draft status
The current repository supplies all 256 positions as unreviewed authoring placeholders. Their criteria need to be written and reviewed before they can be used in an assessment. Null signer votes and resultScore: null mean unfilled, not failure. The manuscript's recovery-test example illustrates a possible definition; it does not replace the actual placeholder at that position.
Use question records to develop a definition, assessment to resolve evidence and judgments, encoding to represent completed results, and versioning to preserve their meaning across releases.
