# Contract Diagnostic Model

## Definition

A contract diagnostic model is the shared representation for validation,
assessment, and repair findings emitted by Markitect pipeline tools.

## Assertions

The central claim is that authors and agents need one diagnostic vocabulary
across structural checks, field checks, metric bands, and semantic assessments.
Evidence comes from the way legacy Markitect scattered related failures across
different subsystems.

## Relationships

The model relates to document contracts, form fields, section specifications,
and future LLM rubric adapters.
