Domestic & Consumer — AR Rubric Data Twin

Foreword. Data Artifact: the machine-readable twin of VRS-DOM-201 (VRS 2026 (draft)) — the sector criteria with their point ranges, rungs and tier ceilings, the contributing intrinsic criteria, the letter bands and the application classes — generated FROM the protocol’s Clause 5–7 by tools/vrs-twin-generate.py. Consistency is by construction and re-verified on every build (conformance check 15). The JSON in Clause 4 is the normative payload; scorer tooling consumes it directly. A change to VRS-DOM-201 and to this twin is one change instrument.

1 Scope

This Data Artifact carries the rubric data of the Domestic & Consumer (DOM) sector in machine-readable form: the 10 sector criteria of VRS-DOM-201 Clause 6 with points, rungs and Unverified / Verified / Certified ceilings; the contributing intrinsic criteria of Clause 5; the letter bands and application classes of Clause 7. It states no independent requirements. Where this artifact and VRS-DOM-201 could be read to differ, VRS-DOM-201 governs and this twin is regenerated to match.

2 Normative references

• VRS-DOM-201, Domestic & Consumer — AR Assessment Protocol — source protocol twinned (Clauses 5–7).
• VRS-DOM-001, Domestic & Consumer — Sector Standard — application classes and hazard groups.
• VRS-GEN-005, IR Methodology — point sum, tier ceilings, no-evidence rule.
• VRS-GEN-006, AR Scheme — pool mechanics, letter bands, tier caps by construction.
• VRS-GEN-002, Designation and Drafting Rules — criterion layout (§6.5) and versioning.

3 Terms and definitions

The terms of VRS-GEN-001 and VRS-DOM-201 apply. data twin — a machine-readable artifact regenerated one-to-one from a source protocol’s normative clauses. rung — a named state of a criterion awarding a stated integer number of points (VRS-GEN-002 §3.9). ceiling — the maximum points a criterion awards at a stated tier (VRS-GEN-002 §3.10).

4 Payload

Sector criteria total 100 points; ceilings Unverified 70, Verified 85, Certified 100.
