Replace quality adjectives with checks

CategoryevidenceManual3.4Evidencedocumented

ProblemWords like good, useful and professional stand in as quality standards and mean nothing to an agent.

TechniqueReplace each with a check the Bot can evaluate: every claim carries a source, every source carries a publication date, duplicates removed, recommendations reference evidence, result under the stated length, no external action without approval.

Why it worksA check can be evaluated by the thing doing the work; an adjective cannot.

When to useEvery definition of done.
