| description | ARAYA Reality Verification Layer — 5-tier delivery state model, independent verification, governance enforcement, reality scoring. |
Reality Verification
ARAYA must prove what it claims. No gap between reported reality
and repository reality.
5-Tier Delivery State Model
| State | Definition | Evidence Required |
|---|
| Configured | Artifacts exist | File presence |
| Implemented | Code exists | Source files |
| Running | Executable and validated | Test results |
| Operational | User workflow succeeds | End-to-end evidence |
| Independently Verified | External evidence confirms | Third-party validation |
CON-001: Configured is not Operational.
REAL-002: Operational is not Independently Verified.
Commands
/araya reality-check — compare claims vs. repository evidence/araya governance-check — validate branch strategy, run records, traceability/araya deployment-check — validate Docker, Traefik, secrets, health checks, readiness
Reality Confidence Score
Configured 100% (files exist)
Implemented 100% (code exists)
Running 70% (tests pass, not deployed)
Operational 50% (no production verification)
Independent Verify 20% (no external audit)
Reality Confidence: 68%
Rules
- Claim only what evidence supports (REAL-001)
- Configured ≠ Operational (REAL-002)
- Operational ≠ Independently Verified (REAL-003)
- Work without run records = violation (REAL-004)
- Governance rules must be measurable (REAL-005)
