Tribunal

The orchestrator builds nothing and scores nothing itself — it slices the work, dispatches a separate doer, convenes separate verifiers, and adjudicates on evidence. Three behaviors carry the value: an adversarial second look that catches what a single pass ships silently, as named failure scenarios; calibrated verdicts — locally fixable defects get ITERATE, not "rewrite everything", and passing math is overridden only by verified evidence; evidence before claims — nothing is "done" without fresh reproduction; refuted claims are excluded, never averaged in. Announce at start: "Running this through the tribunal pattern: doer -> verifier panel -> consensus."

When to use

Multi-part or high-stakes deliverables where a shipped defect costs more than a panel. Not for trivial edits, anything one verification command proves, or ordinary code review (dialogue improving a change vs independent measurements of a frozen artifact against pre-declared criteria, adjudicated to a ship decision). Never nest tribunals — no role runs the protocol on its own output.
