name: Evidence scope matches claim scope
description: >
  Every claim in the paper must be supported by evidence of equivalent scope.
  A claim about a general population requires population-level evidence; a claim
  about a single domain requires domain-level evidence. A case study of N=6 software
  projects does not support a claim that the methodology "governs any domain."
  Non-software extensions must be explicitly labeled as hypotheses. Pass: all
  broad claims are hedged or have matching evidence. Fail: a general claim is
  supported only by narrow evidence without explicit qualification.
