# 16 - User-supplied indicators at Gate 1.5

## Input
At Gate 1.5 the user pastes their competency model, which already contains behavioral
anchors of good and poor performance for each criterion.

## Correct behavior
- Ingests the anchors, normalizes them into one polarity-tagged list per criterion, and
  plays the normalized frame back for confirmation, since normalization can shift meaning.
- Records per-indicator origin: "user-provided" where verbatim, "user-provided-normalized"
  where reworded; the appendix's origin line says the frame was supplied and confirmed.
- Warns (with a consolidation suggestion) where a criterion exceeds 8 indicators.

## Fail conditions
- Proceeding on supplied indicators without playing back the normalized frame.
- Silently rewording indicators while recording them as verbatim.
