+# Cognitive Admissibility Criteria (CAC) Specification v0.1
+
+## 1. Purpose
+
+This specification defines the mandatory admissibility contract for any decision artifact emitted by Summit execution paths.
+
+A decision artifact is admissible only when it satisfies all normative requirements in this specification and passes the CAC validator with a `PASS` verdict.
+
+## 2. Required Decision Fields
+
+Each decision bundle **MUST** include the following top-level fields:
+
+- `decision_id` (string, non-empty)
+- `input_sources` (array, at least one entry)
+- `transformation_steps` (array, at least one entry)
+- `model_used` (string, non-empty)
+- `confidence_score` (number between 0 and 1, inclusive)
+- `uncertainty_flag` (boolean)
+- `reproducibility_hash` (string, SHA-256 hex)
+
+## 3. Input Source Admissibility
+
+For each `input_sources[]` entry:
+
+- `source_id` **MUST** be present and non-empty.
+- `uri` **MUST** be present and non-empty.
+- `content_hash` **MUST** be present and must be SHA-256 hex.
+- `verified` **MUST** be `true` for admissibility.
+- Unverified or unverifiable sources **MUST NOT** pass CAC.
+
+## 4. Transformation Step Admissibility
+
+For each `transformation_steps[]` entry:
+
+- `step_id` **MUST** be present and non-empty.
+- `operation` **MUST** be present and non-empty.
+- `input_hash` **MUST** be SHA-256 hex.
+- `output_hash` **MUST** be SHA-256 hex.
+
+Transformation steps **MUST** represent a deterministic chain for identical input evidence and model configuration.
+
+## 5. Determinism Requirements
+
+- Decision bundles **MUST NOT** embed runtime-dependent fields inside deterministic artifacts (for example: dynamic timestamps, random seeds, hostnames, process IDs).
+- Reproducibility **MUST** be checked by recomputing `reproducibility_hash` from a canonicalized payload that excludes `reproducibility_hash` itself.
+- If recomputed hash differs from supplied hash, validation **MUST** fail.
+
+## 6. Verdict Rules
+
+- CAC validation **MUST** output a binary verdict: `PASS` or `FAIL`.
+- Any missing required field **MUST** produce `FAIL`.
+- Any determinism violation **MUST** produce `FAIL`.
+- Any unverifiable source **MUST** produce `FAIL`.
+
+## 7. Certification Requirements (CACert)
+
+A CACert artifact may be generated only when verdict is `PASS`.
+
+CACert **MUST** include:
+
+- `decision_id`
+- `verdict` (`PASS`)
+- `admissibility_score`
+- `evidence_hash`
+- `signed` (`true` only when signing succeeds)
+
+Unsigned artifacts **MUST NOT** be treated as certified.
