# Assessment Method Validity Source Register

Keep a selection-method validity claim tied to evidence relevant to the role and population.

## Scope
Preparation and review only. No account action or professional decision.

## Inputs
Proposed method, vendor claim, study/source scope, job criteria, target population and reviewer instructions.

## Workflow
1. Record claimed validity and source provenance separately.
2. Compare studied outcome/population with intended job criteria.
3. Keep missing or mismatched validation evidence as unresolved.
4. Return a process evidence register; no candidate score or hiring decision.

## Output contract
method | claim | source | studied_outcome | population_match | job_match | hold

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional vendor cites student quiz accuracy for managerial performance. Record scope mismatch; it is not validated prediction of manager job performance. Do not label applicants unsuitable.

## Review gates
Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
