"version": "1.0.0",
"thesis": "The corpus size is DERIVED, not chosen. It follows from three principled constraints: topics (79), applicability (230 valid pairs), and zone capacity (3-5 per cell).",
"constraints": {
"topics": {
"count": 79,
"rationale": "Minimum spanning set of ML systems knowledge for Staff-level engineers, organized into 13 competency areas"
},
"applicability": {
"total_pairs": 316,
"applicable_pairs": 230,
"excluded_pairs": 86,
"rationale": "Each exclusion is physics-grounded — the concept has no physical substrate on that hardware tier"
},
"zone_capacity": {
"simple_zones": {
"zones": ["recall", "fluency", "evaluation", "implement"],
"capacity": 3,
"rationale": "Limited distinct scenarios — finite facts, napkin math combos, pairwise comparisons"
},
"complex_zones": {
"zones": ["analyze", "design", "diagnosis", "specification", "realization", "optimization"],
"capacity": 4,
"rationale": "More angles available — different failure modes, constraint sets, architectural patterns"
},
"mastery_zone": {
"zones": ["mastery"],
"capacity": 5,
"rationale": "Most complex zone combining all four skills — supports the most variation"
