Enum: ModelDivergenceMaterialityEnum

Whether a specific divergence bears on the specific claim its link makes. This is what separates a caveat that undermines the claim from one that is real but beside the point, and it is deliberately per-divergence where fidelity is per-link. Recording it is what could eventually let fidelity be derived rather than authored. The per-divergence framing mirrors the risk-informed grading in ASME V&V 40 and the FDA credibility guidance, where how much credibility evidence a model needs is set by its influence on the decision and the consequence of that decision being wrong, rather than by a single global quality score.

description: Whether a specific divergence bears on the specific claim its link makes.
  This is what separates a caveat that undermines the claim from one that is real
  but beside the point, and it is deliberately per-divergence where `fidelity` is
  per-link. Recording it is what could eventually let `fidelity` be derived rather
  than authored. The per-divergence framing mirrors the risk-informed grading in ASME
  V&V 40 and the FDA credibility guidance, where how much credibility evidence a model
  needs is set by its influence on the decision and the consequence of that decision
  being wrong, rather than by a single global quality score.

permissible_values:
  INVALIDATING:
    text: INVALIDATING
    description: The claim should not be transferred to human disease on this model
      alone. Usually pairs with PARTIALLY_RECAPITULATE or FAILS_TO_RECAPITULATE and
      a low fidelity tier.
    title: Invalidating
  QUALIFYING:
    text: QUALIFYING
    description: The claim holds, but in a narrower form than the link's `description`
      would suggest on its own. The commonest value.
    title: Qualifying
  IMMATERIAL:
    text: IMMATERIAL
    description: A real divergence that does not bear on this particular claim. Worth
      recording precisely because it stops a reader inferring that a known limitation
      of the model undermines this use of it.
    title: Immaterial
  UNKNOWN:
    text: UNKNOWN
    description: Bearing on the claim has not been assessed. Prefer this over guessing.
    title: Unknown
