Pedagogical Density (WC-02)¶
Informative. A density rating of the normative text for calibrating the reader's route. It does not change any mandatory clauses.
Method (2026-05-22): density score = (RFC-2119 RU markers + closed-list refs + state machine tables) / 1000 lines, manual calibration + line counting. Scale: L (low ≤3), M (3–6), H (6–9), VH (≥9).
By Chapter (density ratings)¶
| Chapter | Lines | Score | Tier | Signpost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 00 Introduction | 253 | 4.2 | M | standard/README → start with core |
| 01 Scope | 267 | 5.8 | M | closed lists §1.7 — see glossary |
| 02 Methodology | 241 | 5.0 | M | Source of Truth — core Rule 2 first |
| 03 substrate V1–V6 | 246 | 5.2 | M | → guide/03 or guide/04 |
| 04 Terms | 416 | 7.2 | H | → reference/01 for examples |
| 05 Roles | 294 | 4.5 | M | → guide/01 walkthrough |
| 06 Hierarchy | 564 | 8.4 | H | → guide/00 quickstart before frontmatter |
| 07 ADAPT | 355 | 6.8 | H | → core ADAPT section |
| 08 Specifications | 426 | 7.9 | H | → guide/09 E3 SPEC examples |
| 09 Test cases | 550 | 9.1 | VH | → reference/02 §8 + §9.1.1 decision tree |
| 10 Lifecycle QG | 628 | 9.5 | VH | → §10.1.1 QG tree + guide/00 |
| 11 Maturity | 361 | 4.8 | M | → guide/02 transition |
| 12 Metrics | 361 | 3.9 | M | provisional targets §12.4 |
| 13 Conformance | 394 | 8.0 | H | → reference/08 kit first |
| 14 Normative refs | ~220 | 2.8 | M | → reference/11 extended catalogue; §14.5 "the five key ones" |
