Decision quality and efficiency remain unvalidated. |
| 2026-07-18 | Released v1.2.0: Elite, constrained-choice vote, every-mode manifest hardening, the capped paid-exploratory evaluation runner, strict OpenAI-compatible verdict extraction, and org-repository release identities. The live lane remains correctness-only; no quality or efficiency claim. |
| 2026-07-18 | Implemented the sequential paid exploratory runner: default dry-run, exact USD 10.00 execute approval, reservation-before-call, one in-flight call, and no-repeat resume. The 24-task fixture remains offline/open-book and is not the paid smoke corpus; the smoke is correctness-only and not decision eligible. |
| 2026-07-17 | Added the experimental DSE-708 offline evaluation substrate and `conclave eval` artifact workflow; no live study or quality claim. |

# Conclave Decision Quality Roadmap

**Status:** Active; Horizon 0 released in v1.2.0, Horizon 1 exploratory pilot preparation underway

**Gate outcome:** all six items have regression coverage; the complete suite, static checks,

12-cell paid smoke completed every planned cell, and a separate three-provider connectivity

### Current H1 position (2026-07-19)

The offline harness, blinding/scoring workflow, USD 10 execution ceiling, authenticated
checkpoints, and paid correctness smoke are complete. The 24-task open-book QA pack remains
synthetic and offline-only evidence. The next valid step is a separately frozen 20-30 task
private exploratory pilot with protected grader keys, six matched conditions, two independent
human graders, and adjudication. Grader calibration is staged before the full pilot. DSE-690
and DSE-708 remain open until pilot evidence supports a go, redesign, or kill decision.
