Scoreability

The six scenarios

• Current gated — what's scoreable right now, given all current gates.
• Underlying potential — the upper bound implied by the work itself, ignoring gates.
• Clean-gate — what becomes scoreable if branch hygiene issues are resolved.
• After-pending-merges — projection assuming pending related PRs merge.
• Linked-issue-fixed — projection assuming the linked issue is closed cleanly.
• Best reasonable case — the realistic upper bound across known cleanups.

Language rules

Use scoreability, estimated score, underlying potential, and risk-adjusted priority. Never say guaranteed payout, guaranteed reward, or anything implying outcome guarantees.
