  "description": "Establishes source-grounded data meaning, reader operations, visual encodings, and evidence companions before rendering. Applies when creating or materially revising a visualization across conversation, web, scientific, or document destinations.",

    "what": "A visual contract connecting a reader's question to admitted records, transformations, encodings, interpretation, and recoverable evidence.",
    "when": [
      "A visualization's population, measure, comparison, uncertainty, or form needs a decision before production. A settled figure's isolated copy correction can use direct reasoning."
    ],
    "boundaries": [
      "The method is operator-, renderer-, and destination-independent. Source owners establish meaning; domain reviewers retain consequential interpretation; the current task grants execution and publication authority. A visual contract describes a defensible representation rather than validating the underlying world."

    "result": "One usable form-selection decision with its data basis, scale, companion, supported reading, unresolved condition, and fitting observation."
