Context
The evidence model (ADR-0008) allowed private ("proprietary") evidence only for employment. Most of my work is private for other reasons: products I own (ChartX, Fluxa) and personal prototypes (MyAgent, Soul). Labelling them employment would be false; leaving them out would hide real work. Separately, the CV and the site must tell the same story, and a reader of the CV should be able to reach the support for each statement in one click.
Options
- Treat own products as employment. Inaccurate, and it would blur the employment boundary.
- Make private personal work public evidence. Impossible without publishing the repositories.
- Add a
venture(own product) context, allow private evidence inventureandpersonal-lab, and keep the cap: private evidence is never TESTED or MEASURED and never cited as CV evidence.
Decision
The third option. PRODUCTION still requires employment. CV bullets gain an optional see link to a
case-study section, proof page or collection; the audit resolves each one against the snapshot and
fails the build if it does not exist. CV project bullets about private projects use a new
project-record basis, allowed only for projects with a case study. On /resume, each statement shows
its link and whether it is self-reported; the printed CV hides those annotations.
Consequences
- The site can show all of my work while keeping the rule that only public tests count as verified.
- A broken CV-to-site link is a build failure, not a dead link discovered by a recruiter.
- The public CV PDF is printed from the same page as before; the private copy differs only by a phone number inserted at print time, which never enters the repository.
