ddd-refute

THE CLAIM AUTHOR CANNOT REFUTE THEIR OWN CLAIM. INDEPENDENCE IS MANDATORY.

Core principle: Adversarial review finds what self-review cannot. Independence is not a courtesy — it is the mechanism that makes refutation meaningful.

Violating the letter of the rules is violating the spirit of the rules.

When to invoke

• A T3 claim exists in the change (Assurance profile)
• Compliance Sweep has identified T3 claims requiring independent refutation
• Assurance Review gate fires (SPEC.md §8.1)
• A high-impact decision needs adversarial validation
