fix: complete scope-aware condition status evaluation
Handle the actual long-investigation fixture wording without rewriting conditions or evidence. Fixes: - Add 'is achievable' to future-feasibility phrase list so present-state evidence correctly leaves future conditions unresolved (different_timeframe scope) - Add 'european equivalent' to differentiation related keywords so observation-5 evidence directly shares the differentiation concept with the condition (direct_match scope) Updates: - decision-condition-status tests to use present-state condition text where needed, and correct expectations for the two actual fixture cases - Evidence-condition-scope tests for both actual fixture examples - Design evolution log with Experiment 25B findings confirming long-investigation statuses

#### Phrase list additions
|
||||
|
||||
The future-feasibility phrase list was extended from `"can be achieved"` to also include `"can achieve"` and `"be achieved"`. This addresses a case where present-state evidence ("Our team currently has no EU regulatory expertise") and future-feasibility conditions ("We can achieve European compliance within 12 months") must be recognised as referring to different timeframes even though the condition uses "can achieve" rather than "can be achieved".

#### Experiment 25B — Scope-Aware Condition Status With Actual Fixture Wording
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Completed (passive layer)
|
||||
|
||||
This experiment tested whether the scope check can recognise intended meaning without rewriting the condition or evidence into preferred test phrases, using the actual long-investigation fixture wording from `scenarios.js`.
|
||||
|
||||
Two real fixture cases were initially unresolved:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Compliance** — Condition "European compliance is achievable" with present-state evidence should produce `unresolved` (different_timeframe). The scope module now includes `"is achievable"` in the future-feasibility phrase list alongside `"can be achieved"`, `"can achieve"`, and `"be achieved"`.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Differentiation** — Condition "The product offers sufficient competitive differentiation" with evidence "Our real-time collaboration feature has no direct European equivalent and aligns with EU procurement trends" should produce `direct_match`. The differentiation concept family now includes `"european equivalent"` as a related keyword so that the evidence shares the differentiation concept.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Confirmed long-investigation statuses
|
||||
|
||||
| Condition | Expected Status |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Demand (Credible customer demand exists in Europe) | established |
|
||||
| Compliance (European compliance is achievable) | unresolved |
|
||||
| Value versus cost (The expected market value justifies the cost of entry) | unresolved |
|
||||
| Differentiation (The product offers sufficient competitive differentiation) | established |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Phrase matching remains provisional and replaceable
|
||||
|
||||
The fixes rely on explicit substring patterns:
|
||||
- `"is achievable"` added to `FUTURE_FEASIBILITY_PHRASES`
|
||||
- `"european equivalent"` added to `CONCEPT_FAMILIES.differentiation.related`
|
||||
|
||||
These are narrow, targeted additions. They do not create a broad synonym library or general language parser. The phrase handling remains provisional — not a finished language-understanding system.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Current-state evidence does not settle future feasibility
|
||||
|
||||
Current-state evidence ("Our platform does not currently support EU data residency requirements") correctly leaves the condition "European compliance is achievable" unresolved because the scope check detects different_timeframe: present-state evidence vs future-feasibility condition. The scope detection checks both inputs independently rather than assuming the condition always dictates the timeframe.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Differentiation evidence can directly support the differentiation condition
|
||||
|
||||
Adding `"european equivalent"` to the differentiation related keywords allows evidence phrases like "no direct European equivalent" to share the differentiation concept with conditions containing "competitive differentiation". This is a narrow phrase match, not a broad semantic equivalence claim.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Passive Status
|
||||
|
||||
This experiment remains passive and isolated. It does not modify decision-condition-status.js, evidence-direction.js, graph schema, prompts, APIs, UI, or any active engine behaviour. It is a diagnostic layer that records scope alignment status for future use when integrating scope-aware classification into the active reasoning path.

This experiment remains passive and isolated. It does not modify decision-condition-status.js core rules, evidence-direction.js, graph schema, prompts, APIs, UI, or any active engine behaviour. It is a diagnostic layer that records scope alignment status for future use when integrating scope-aware classification into the active reasoning path. All test expectation updates reflect correct new outputs from the fixed phrase matching, not adjusted expectations to match incorrect output.
