Per-seed detail

01-aristotle — Aristotle

• Difficulty: easy
• Confidence: 0.90
• Diagram: view online
• Post-validate: stripped 4 refs, dropped 2 findings

Model elements:

• Blocks: Aristotle (system), Student (actor), Coursework Material (block), Thinking Partner Session (block)
• Associations: student→aristotle:interacts_with, aristotle→coursework_material:analyzes, student→thinking_partner:engages_in
• Constraints: Must never output a complete solution to a graded problem, Response latency under 1.2s P50 to preserve flow, FERPA tenancy — coursework never leaves institutional boundary
• Requirements: REQ-001, REQ-002, REQ-003

Assumptions:

• (0.75) The system's refusal to solve problems is sufficient to prevent academic dishonesty accusations from faculty. [must_never_solve]

Risks:

• (0.90 · high) Maintaining FERPA tenancy for coursework material requires robust, verifiable data isolation mechanisms that are not detailed in the model's element definitions. [coursework_material, ferpa_tenancy]
• (0.80 · medium) The latency constraint (latency_p50) is applied only to 'aristotle', but the actual interaction flow involves multiple blocks and associations (student -> thinking_partner), potentially introducing cumulative latency. [aristotle, thinking_partner, latency_p50]
• (0.90 · high) The model lacks a mechanism to enforce the 'Must never output a complete solution' constraint (must_never_solve) during the actual generation of responses in the thinking_partner session. [aristotle, thinking_partner, must_never_solve]
• (0.70 · medium) The association 'a3' (student -> thinking_partner) does not specify how the interaction history is managed or retrieved, which is critical for maintaining a coherent low-stakes conversation. [thinking_partner, a3]

Inconsistencies:

• (0.85) Constraint must_never_solve applies to the system aristotle, but the requirement req_003 describes a behavior (guiding without direct solutions) that is not inherently contradictory to, nor fully satisfied by, this constraint. [must_never_solve, req_003]
• (0.90) The requirement req_002 states the system must provide a low-stakes thinking partner experience, but no block is explicitly associated with providing this 'thinking partner' functionality. [req_002]
• (0.75) The association a3 links the student to the block thinking_partner, but no requirement explicitly mandates that the system must facilitate this specific interaction. [a3, req_001]

Judge scores (LLM-as-judge — sanity check, not final):

• model.coverage: 4/5 — It captured the core actors (student) and system components (thinking partner), but missed key institutional roles like faculty or curriculum structure.
• model.accuracy: 3/5 — The associations are generally correct, but 'analyzes' is too strong a verb for coursework material; it should be more about content access.
• model.parsimony: 4/5 — The model is focused and avoids excessive filler blocks, keeping the scope tight to the core problem domain.
• constraint.capture: 5/5 — All three explicit constraints (FERPA, latency, no solutions) are correctly captured and applied to relevant system elements.
• asm.detection: 3/5 — The assumption about academic dishonesty is specific and tied to a constraint, but it remains slightly speculative rather than purely falsifiable.
• risk.detection: 5/5 — It identified high-severity, domain-specific risks related to data isolation (FERPA) and system mechanics (latency/constraint enforcement).
• voice.character: 4/5 — The findings are highly technical and critical, maintaining a skeptical, expert tone without resorting to excessive prose.
• Average: 4.00 · Min: 3

This is a strong run; the risk detection was excellent, particularly regarding system implementation details. Minor refinement of association verbs would elevate it further.

02-habit-coach — Habit Coach

• Difficulty: medium
• Confidence: 0.90
• Diagram: view online
• Notes: Habit Coach is the SoI; Parent and Child are actors; Screen Time Data and Limit Configuration are first-class blocks.
• Lint warnings: 1
  • Requirement REQ-002 satisfied by unknown block: reporting_interface

Model elements:

• Blocks: Habit Coach (system), Parent (actor), Child (8-14) (actor), Screen Time Data (block), Limit Configuration (block), Conversation Tool (block)
• Associations: parent→habit_coach:manages_settings_via, child→habit_coach:views_data_via, habit_coach→screen_time_data:aggregates, habit_coach→conversation_tool:includes, parent→limit_configuration:sets
• Constraints: Must work alongside iOS Screen Time and Google Family Link, not replace them, Child data must be parent-controlled per COPPA (US) and GDPR-K (EU), No social features for kids — no leaderboards, no public sharing
• Requirements: REQ-001, REQ-002, REQ-003

Assumptions:

• (0.90) The system assumes that parents will value a data-grounded conversation (REQ-001) more than the immediate satisfaction of enforcing limits, which is necessary for the 'Conversation Tool' to be adopted.
• (0.85) It is assumed that aggregating raw screen time data (a3: aggregates) will automatically translate into actionable insights and a measurable improvement in parent-child communication, which is required for the 'Reporting Interface' to fulfill REQ-002.
• (0.80) The model assumes that parents are willing to use a system (habit_coach) that requires them to actively manage settings and interpret data, rather than simply relying on existing OS-level controls (ios_familylink_compatibility).
• (0.75) The design assumes the 'Conversation Tool' can effectively shift the parent's role from enforcer to facilitator without requiring significant behavioral change or education for the parent.

Risks:

• (0.90 · high) The system relies on aggregating 'Screen Time Data' from external sources (iOS Screen Time, Google Family Link) without detailing the necessary API integration points or data synchronization mechanism, creating a high risk of technical failure. [a3, screen_time_data, ios_familylink_compatibility]
• (0.85 · high) The 'Conversation Tool' must synthesize raw data into actionable insights and conversational prompts, but the model does not specify how it handles conflicting or ambiguous usage patterns, risking a failure to meet the core requirement of facilitating a routine conversation. [conversation_tool, req_001]
• (0.95 · high) The 'Limit Configuration' block is associated with the parent setting limits, but there is no defined mechanism for how the system enforces or reports on limit bypasses, which contradicts the core problem statement that existing tools are easily bypassed. [limit_configuration, a5, req_003]
• (0.75 · medium) The 'Parent' actor is responsible for managing settings and setting limits, but the model fails to define a clear workflow or UI element for how parental oversight (e.g., reviewing data logs) translates into actionable changes within the system. [parent, a1, reporting_interface]
• (0.90 · medium) The 'Child (8-14)' actor views data via the system, but the model does not specify if this viewing is read-only or interactive, which impacts the child's ability to participate in a collaborative conversation. [child, a2, conversation_tool]

Inconsistencies:

• (0.95) The requirement REQ-002, which demands visibility into the effectiveness of screen time limits, is satisfied by 'screen_time_data' and 'reporting_interface', but no association links these elements to the parent or child actors who need this visibility. [req_002, screen_time_data, reporting_interface]
• (0.85) The 'conversation_tool' is required to facilitate a data-grounded conversation (REQ-001), but its properties ('data_visualization', 'prompting_mechanism') are not explicitly linked to the source of the data, which is 'screen_time_data'. [req_001, conversation_tool, screen_time_data]
• (0.80) The 'limit_configuration' block is associated with the parent setting limits (a5), but there is no requirement or association specifying how these configured limits are enforced or consumed by the system. [limit_configuration, a5]

Judge scores (LLM-as-judge — sanity check, not final):

• model.coverage: 4/5 — The model captured the core actors (Parent, Child) and key system components (Data, Limits, Conversation Tool).
• model.accuracy: 4/5 — Associations are generally correct; using 'composition' for includes is acceptable but slightly imprecise.
• model.parsimony: 5/5 — The model is highly focused and avoids adding unnecessary or fabricated blocks/entities.
• constraint.capture: 5/5 — All three explicit constraints are correctly captured and applied to the system block.
• asm.detection: 4/5 — Assumptions are specific (e.g., behavioral shift) and tied directly to core requirements/tools.
• risk.detection: 5/5 — Risks are highly substantive, domain-specific (API integration, bypasses), and address failure modes.
• voice.character: 4/5 — The findings are structured, analytical, and skeptical, maintaining a professional PM tone.
• Average: 4.43 · Min: 4

This is a very strong run. The model excels at identifying technical risks and regulatory constraints while keeping the scope tight.

03-redline-ai — Redline AI

• Difficulty: medium
• Confidence: 0.90
• Diagram: view online

Model elements:

• Blocks: Redline AI (system), Legal Team (actor), Contract Document (block), Company Clause Library (block), Redline Suggestion (block)
• Associations: legal_team→redline_ai:, redline_ai→contract_document:, redline_ai→company_clause_library:, contract_document→redline_suggestion:
• Constraints: Must integrate with Microsoft Word, Contract content must never train cross-customer models (privilege concerns), Audit trail of every change suggestion must be exportable, SOC 2 Type II compliance from day one
• Requirements: REQ-001, REQ-002

Assumptions:

• (0.90) Legal teams will accept the speed of redlining (req_001) even if the suggestions require significant human review time (req_002). [redline_ai, req_001, req_002]
• (0.85) The AI's suggestions will be perceived as helpful and trustworthy enough to replace the mechanical work currently done by junior associates (problem). [redline_ai, legal_team]
• (0.95) The system's ability to suggest changes must be directly and reliably linked to the company's specific clause library (a3). [redline_ai, company_clause_library, a3]
• (0.80) The system must provide a clear mechanism for the legal team to reject or modify AI suggestions while maintaining an auditable record (exportable_audit_trail). [redline_ai, exportable_audit_trail, legal_team]

Risks:

• (0.90 · high) Achieving the 'minutes' latency target for redlining (req_001) may be impossible when constrained by required integration with Microsoft Word and complex, multi-step document parsing. [redline_ai, must_integrate_with_word, req_001]
• (0.85 · medium) The requirement for an exportable audit trail (exportable_audit_trail) adds significant complexity and overhead to the core redlining logic, potentially impacting performance targets. [redline_ai, exportable_audit_trail, req_001]
• (0.95 · high) The 'no cross-customer training' constraint (no_cross_customer_training) necessitates a complex, isolated inference architecture that could introduce significant technical overhead and latency. [redline_ai, no_cross_customer_training]
• (0.90 · medium) The model does not specify how the 'Company Clause Library' (company_clause_library) is queried or prioritized against existing contract content, risking irrelevant suggestions. [redline_ai, a3, company_clause_library]

Inconsistencies:

• (0.90) Requirement REQ-002 states that the General Counsel must review AI suggestions, but no association or block explicitly models this required human interaction between the legal team and the redline suggestion. [req_002, legal_team, redline_suggestion]
• (0.85) The association a4 (composition) links the contract document to redline suggestion, implying that suggestions are inherent parts of the document, which contradicts the idea that suggestions are generated by the system and reviewed separately. [a4, contract_document, redline_suggestion]
• (0.75) The block 'legal_team' is defined as an actor but has no associations connecting it to the core process blocks (e.g., redline_ai or contract_document), making its role structurally isolated. [legal_team, a1]
• (0.80) The block 'company_clause_library' is defined but has no associations or requirements linking it to the core process (redline_ai), suggesting it may be unused. [company_clause_library]

Judge scores (LLM-as-judge — sanity check, not final):

• model.coverage: 4/5 — The model captured core entities (Legal Team, Contract, Library) but missed the critical 'Microsoft Word' integration platform as a modeled dependency.
• model.accuracy: 3/5 — Using generalization for Legal Team to Redline AI is weak; composition between document and suggestion is likely incorrect.
• model.parsimony: 4/5 — The model is generally focused on the core domain elements without adding unnecessary filler blocks or actors.
• constraint.capture: 5/5 — All four explicit constraints were correctly captured and applied to the system block in the model structure.
• asm.detection: 4/5 — Assumptions are specific (e.g., trust/speed trade-offs) and tied directly to process requirements and user roles.
• risk.detection: 5/5 — Risks are highly substantive, domain-specific (Word integration, data isolation), and tie back to explicit constraints.
• voice.character: 4/5 — The findings are structured, skeptical, and concrete, though the prose could be slightly more economical in places.
• Average: 4.14 · Min: 3

This is a strong run; the risk detection was excellent. Minor structural fixes to the model's associations would elevate it further.

04-skillswap — SkillSwap

Status: ❌ failed

Model JSON failed schema validation:
  constraints.2.confidence: Number must be less than or equal to 1

Raw response (first 600 chars): {"blocks":[{"id":"skillswap_platform","label":"SkillSwap Platform","kind":"system","confidence":0.95,"properties":[{"name":"exchange_history","type":{"kind":"string"}},{"name":"user_reputation_score","type":{"kind":"number"}}]},{"id":"remote_worker","label":"Remote Worker","kind":"actor","confidence":0.95,"properties":[{"name":"marketable_skills","type":{"kind":"string"}},{"name":"desired_skill","type":{"kind":"string"}}]},{"id":"service_offering","label":"Service Offering","kind":"block","confidence":0.9,"properties":[{"name":"skill_type","type":{"kind":"string"}},{"name":"scope_hours","type"

05-cyclist-thing — Cyclist Thing

• Difficulty: failure-prone
• Confidence: 0.20
• Diagram: view online

Model elements:

• Blocks: Cyclist Thing (system), Cyclists (actor)
• Associations: cyclist→cyclist_thing:
• Constraints: none
• Requirements: none

Assumptions:

• (0.95) The product will be accepted by the target user group, cyclists. [cyclist, cyclist_thing]

Risks:

• (0.95 · high) The model lacks specific functional requirements, making it impossible to define a measurable success metric for the 'Cyclist Thing' system. [cyclist_thing]
• (0.90 · medium) The target user ('Cyclists') is too broad and lacks defining characteristics (e.g., amateur vs. professional, type of cycling) to scope the problem effectively. [cyclist]
• (0.85 · high) The system definition ('Cyclist Thing') is merely a placeholder and does not articulate what specific problem it solves for the 'Cyclists' actor. [cyclist_thing, a1]

Inconsistencies:

• (0.80) The association 'a1' connects the actor 'cyclist' to the system 'cyclist_thing', but no specific interaction or flow is defined. [a1, cyclist, cyclist_thing]

Judge scores (LLM-as-judge — sanity check, not final):

• model.coverage: 2/5 — The model only identifies the actor and system but misses core concepts like bike types or cycling activities.
• model.accuracy: 3/5 — The structure is technically correct (actor to system association), but it lacks any meaningful relationships or composition details.
• model.parsimony: 4/5 — Given the vague seed, keeping the model minimal and only including core elements is appropriate and highly parsimonious.
• constraint.capture: 1/5 — No constraints or requirements were surfaced at all, failing to capture any meaningful non-functional boundaries.
• asm.detection: 2/5 — The assumption is generic ('will be accepted') and fails to push back on the vagueness of the target user/problem space.
• risk.detection: 5/5 — The risks are highly substantive, correctly identifying the vague nature of both the system and the target user group.
• voice.character: 4/5 — The findings use clear, skeptical language that questions the scope rather than accepting it, maintaining a good critical voice.
• Average: 3.00 · Min: 1

The model correctly identifies the vagueness of the seed in its risk detection but fails to push back on the assumption and lacks any structural depth.

06-eventstream — EventStream

• Difficulty: hard
• Confidence: 0.95
• Diagram: view online
• Notes: EventStream is the SoI; Producer and Consumer are actors interacting with the core EventStream system.

Model elements:

• Blocks: EventStream (system), Producer (actor), Consumer (actor), Event Data (block), Topic Metadata (block)
• Associations: producer→eventstream:, consumer→eventstream:, producer→event_data:, consumer→event_data:, eventstream→topic_metadata:
• Constraints: Wire-compatible with Kafka producer protocol for migration safety, Single binary, single config file, runs on a single node up to 100k events/sec, Apache 2.0 license
• Requirements: REQ-001, REQ-002

Assumptions:

• (0.95) Adoption relies on the assumption that platform engineers prioritize operational simplicity (single binary, no ZooKeeper) over maintaining compatibility with existing Kafka tooling. [single_binary_deployment, kafka_wire_compatibility]
• (0.85) The system assumes that the ability to observe backpressure in-band (req_001) is a sufficient differentiator for platform engineers who are already familiar with Kafka's operational model. [producer, eventstream, req_001]
• (0.75) The design assumes that the target user base (platform engineers) will accept a system that fundamentally changes core streaming semantics, even if it maintains wire compatibility. [eventstream, kafka_wire_compatibility]

Risks:

• (0.90 · high) Maintaining wire compatibility with the Kafka producer protocol while enforcing a first-class, in-band backpressure signal (req_001) introduces significant complexity to the eventstream's core protocol design. [eventstream, kafka_wire_compatibility, producer, req_001]
• (0.85 · medium) The constraint of being a single binary running on a single node up to 100k events/sec (single_binary_deployment) limits the system's ability to scale horizontally, contradicting the implied need for high throughput in modern event-driven infrastructure. [eventstream, single_binary_deployment, producer]
• (0.95 · medium) The model does not specify how the system will handle topic metadata changes (topic_metadata) or schema evolution, which are critical operational concerns for platform engineers migrating from Kafka. [eventstream, topic_metadata]

Inconsistencies:

• (0.90) Requirement REQ-001 states that producers must receive backpressure signals in-band, but the producer block has no property dedicated to modeling this signal. [req_001, producer]
• (0.85) The eventstream system block lists backpressure_signal as a property, but this signal is fundamentally related to the interaction between the producer and consumer, not an intrinsic property of the stream itself. [eventstream]
• (0.75) The producer block lists backpressure_observability, but this property is a direct consequence of the system's core goal (REQ-001) and should be modeled as an explicit requirement or constraint rather than a general property. [producer, req_001]

Judge scores (LLM-as-judge — sanity check, not final):

• model.coverage: 4/5 — It captured the core actors (Producer/Consumer) and system (EventStream), but missed key operational concepts like Schema Registry or Topic Management.
• model.accuracy: 3/5 — The use of generalization for Producer/Consumer is acceptable, but associating them directly to EventData via simple associations lacks specificity regarding the flow control mechanism.
• model.parsimony: 4/5 — The model is focused and avoids unnecessary filler blocks; it only includes necessary operational components like Topic Metadata.
• constraint.capture: 5/5 — All three explicit constraints were correctly transferred to the system block, and the requirements captured the core functional goals effectively.
• asm.detection: 4/5 — Assumptions are highly specific (e.g., operational simplicity vs compatibility) and tied directly to conflicting constraints/goals, making them actionable.
• risk.detection: 5/5 — The risks identified are substantive failure modes (complexity of wire-compatibility + new semantics) and domain-specific, exceeding generic warnings.
• voice.character: 4/5 — The findings are highly structured, concrete, and skeptical, maintaining a professional, critical tone without excessive hedging or fluff.
• Average: 4.14 · Min: 3

07-pet-translator — Pet Translator

• Difficulty: failure-prone
• Confidence: 0.90
• Diagram: view online

Model elements:

• Blocks: Pet Translator (system), Pet Owner (actor), Pet Vocalization (block), Pet Body Language (block), Emotional State Interpretation (block)
• Associations: pet_owner→pet_translator:operates, pet_translator→pet_vocalization:processes_input, pet_translator→pet_body_language:processes_input, pet_translator→emotional_state_interpretation:generates_output, pet_owner→emotional_state_interpretation:receives_feedback
• Constraints: On-device inference for privacy, Honest about the difference between 'emotion classification' and 'translation'
• Requirements: REQ-001, REQ-002

Assumptions:

• (0.95) Pet owners will accept an output that is a 'believable' interpretation, even if the underlying science is merely emotion classification. [req_001, req_002, honest_disclaimer]
• (0.90) The system assumes that the owner's desire to 'bond with their pet' (REQ-002) is a direct and reliable outcome of receiving an emotional state interpretation. [req_002, a5]
• (0.80) The system assumes that the pet owner will provide sufficient and varied input (vocalization + body language) for the inference engine to generate a useful interpretation. [pet_owner, a2, a3]
• (0.75) The system assumes that the technical feasibility of inferring emotional state from multiple modalities (audio and video) is achievable while maintaining on-device inference. [on_device_inference, pet_translator]

Risks:

• (0.90 · high) Achieving a 'believable and useful interpretation' (req_001) of pet behavior requires integrating diverse, real-world behavioral data that is not captured by the current limited input modalities (pet_vocalization, pet_body_language). [req_001, emotional_state_interpretation, pet_vocalization, pet_body_language]
• (0.85 · high) The constraint of 'On-device inference for privacy' (on_device_inference) severely limits the complexity and size of the underlying ML models, potentially making it impossible to achieve the required accuracy for complex multimodal inputs. [on_device_inference, pet_translator, pet_vocalization, pet_body_language]
• (0.95 · medium) The system relies on the user perceiving 'emotion classification' as a 'translation' (req_002), creating a significant market risk if the output is perceived as merely scientific data rather than magical insight. [honest_disclaimer, pet_translator, req_002]
• (0.75 · medium) The current model lacks a mechanism to handle the variability of pet species and individual temperament, risking failure when applied outside of highly controlled test environments. [pet_owner, pet_type]

Inconsistencies:

• (0.95) Requirement REQ-002 claims that the system enables bonding, but no block or association explicitly models this outcome. [req_002, pet_translator]
• (0.80) The emotional_state_interpretation block is defined as the output of the system but has no associated requirement that mandates its specific properties (primary_emotion, confidence_score). [emotional_state_interpretation, req_001]
• (0.75) The system requires processing two distinct input modalities (pet_vocalization and pet_body_language) but only has one associated requirement (REQ-001) that addresses the overall interpretation. [a2, a3, req_001]

Judge scores (LLM-as-judge — sanity check, not final):

• model.coverage: 4/5 — The model captured the core actors (Owner) and inputs (Vocalization/Body Language), but missed key concepts like 'pet' itself or the concept of 'behavior'.
• model.accuracy: 5/5 — The associations are logically sound; processes_input and generates_output correctly map the data flow from input to interpretation.
• model.parsimony: 4/5 — The model is generally clean, only adding a few necessary blocks (e.g., Interpretation) without excessive filler entities.
• constraint.capture: 5/5 — Both explicit constraints (privacy/honesty) are captured and correctly applied to the system block in the model structure.
• asm.detection: 4/5 — Assumptions are highly specific (e.g., owner's desire to bond is reliable), moving beyond generic platitudes.
• risk.detection: 5/5 — Risks are substantive failure modes tied directly to the seed's core tension: feasibility vs. user perception.
• voice.character: 4/5 — The findings are highly structured and analytical, maintaining a skeptical, professional tone appropriate for this domain.
• Average: 4.43 · Min: 4

This is a strong run that correctly identifies the high-stakes technical and market feasibility risks inherent in the seed.

08-quiet-hours — Quiet Hours

• Difficulty: medium
• Confidence: 0.95
• Diagram: view online

Model elements:

• Blocks: Quiet Hours (system), Individual Contributor (actor), Engineering Manager (actor), Calendar Data (block), Meeting Request (block), Protected Block (block)
• Associations: individual_contributor→quiet_hours_system:uses, engineering_manager→quiet_hours_system:uses, quiet_hours_system→calendar_data:reads/writes, quiet_hours_system→meeting_request:processes, quiet_hours_system→protected_block:manages
• Constraints: Read-write Google Calendar and Outlook (Microsoft Graph) integration, Must respect timezone differences explicitly in proposals, No automatic blocking without user confirmation for the first 30 days (build trust)
• Requirements: REQ-001, REQ-002

Assumptions:

• (0.95) The system assumes that negotiating protected blocks invisibly (proposing alternative meeting times) is sufficient to eliminate the social cost of saying no, which may require more than just calendar manipulation. [req_002, initial_trust_period]
• (0.85) The system assumes that the user's primary blocker to deep work is fragmented calendar time, and not other factors like context switching or lack of motivation. [quiet_hours_system, individual_contributor, engineering_manager]
• (0.90) The system assumes that the user will adopt a tool that actively intervenes in their existing social communication patterns (meeting requests) rather than reverting to manual coordination or simply ignoring the tool. [quiet_hours_system, a4]
• (0.75) The system assumes that calendar integration alone is sufficient to manage deep work time, and does not account for the potential friction of conflicting data sources (e.g., Google vs. Outlook) or API limitations. [google_calendar_integration, timezone_respect]

Risks:

• (0.90 · high) The system's ability to negotiate protected blocks invisibly (req_002) is highly dependent on the success of 'processes' association a4, which must handle conflicts with existing booked slots in calendar_data. [a4]
• (0.85 · medium) The model does not specify how the system will handle a scenario where both the user and the meeting organizer are external to the defined actors (individual_contributor, engineering_manager), potentially blocking necessary meetings. [quiet_hours_system, a3]
• (0.75 · medium) The constraint 'initial_trust_period' (no automatic blocking for 30 days) creates a dependency on user behavior, which may fail if the system cannot reliably prove its value before the trust period ends. [initial_trust_period, req_001]
• (0.80 · high) The system relies on 'reads/writes' association a3 to calendar_data, but the model lacks detail on how it will reconcile conflicting write operations (e.g., two different systems attempting to book the same time slot). [a3, calendar_data]

Inconsistencies:

• (0.90) The association a1 (Individual Contributor uses Quiet Hours System) and a2 (Engineering Manager uses Quiet Hours System) imply that only the actors themselves interact with the system, neglecting the necessary interaction between the actors' calendars and the system. [individual_contributor, engineering_manager, quiet_hours_system]
• (0.75) The calendar_data block contains properties for 'availability' and 'booked_slots', but no requirement explicitly mandates the system must read or write both of these pieces of information. [calendar_data]
• (0.85) The meeting_request block has a property for 'proposed_time', but the system's core function of negotiating alternative times (as stated in the initial hypothesis) suggests it must also handle proposed alternative times, which is not captured. [meeting_request]

Judge scores (LLM-as-judge — sanity check, not final):

• model.coverage: 4/5 — The model correctly identifies the core actors (IC, EM) and system components (Calendar Data, Protected Block). It misses explicit mention of 'Meeting Organizer' as a necessary external actor.
• model.accuracy: 4/5 — Associations are generally correct, but the a1/a2 associations should link to calendar data or meeting requests, not just the system itself. The model is mostly sound.
• model.parsimony: 5/5 — The blocks and associations are highly focused on the problem domain without adding unnecessary filler entities or concepts.
• constraint.capture: 5/5 — All three explicit constraints were correctly captured as dedicated constraint blocks with appropriate application scope.
