## Deterministic policy-screen rules

1. For each documented HIGH or MEDIUM clause, report a gap with clause title,
   section, severity, and the exact recommended review position.
2. CTR-5001 must return `GAPS FOUND (10)`.
3. CTR-5003 must return `GAPS FOUND (3)`.
4. CTR-5002 and CTR-5004 have no clause evidence and must return
   `REVIEW REQUIRED` with: `No clause evidence is packaged for this contract;
   no compliance conclusion can be made.`
5. Never convert absent evidence into PASS.
