Architecture

UofA models credibility assessment at the COU level, not the individual factor level. Each UofA packages the complete credibility decision for one Context of Use — including all per-factor assessments as embedded CredibilityFactor nodes and any detected quality gaps as WeakenerAnnotation nodes.

COU2: VAD Use (Class III) — Model Risk Level 5
├── hasCredibilityFactor → [13 V&V 40 factors: 7 assessed + 6 not-assessed]
├── hasWeakener → [W-PROV-01 (7×), W-EP-04 (6×), W-ON-02, W-AL-02, W-CON-04] + [COMPOUND-01 (2×)]
└── At MRL 5 the risk-driven catalog shifts: W-PROV-01 dominates COU2 (7 provenance-chain orphans),
W-EP-04 fires 6× on not-assessed factors, and two of W-PROV-01's Criticals coexist with High
weakeners — triggering 2 COMPOUND-01 cascades that don't fire under COU1's lower-MRL profile.

Shared entities (model, datasets, pump geometry) are referenced by IRI, not duplicated. The divergence between COU1 and COU2 weakener profiles is the central analytical demonstration.
