How checks work

Every governance check follows the same pipeline.

The check pipeline

1. Fetch — HTTPS request to the expected file location
2. Parse — content parsed per specification
3. Validate — each field checked against the standard
4. Identify issues — classified as fail (−25), warn (−10), or info (−2)
5. Score — 100 minus weighted penalties
6. Propose fix — corrected version generated where possible
7. Store — results saved as a run in audit history

Check outcomes

Score	Outcome	Indicator
80–100	Pass	Green
50–79	Warn	Amber
0–49	Fail	Red

If the file could not be fetched (404, timeout, connection error), the outcome is Not Found with score 0.
