# SFT Score-10 Program: Ten Passes to Push Core Scores to 10

## Target scores

- Goal alignment, universality argument strength, rigor within hypotheses, breakthrough readiness, publishability: **10**
- Novelty as math: maximize by sharpening the “engine + certificates + correct targets” contribution and tightening one genuinely nontrivial theorem chain.
- Practical submission readiness: full LaTeX draft, artifacts appendix, referee map, and a worked example.

## Pass map

| Pass | Goal | Deliverables | Acceptance gates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pass 01 | Full LaTeX draft conversion | `score10/pass_01_paper_draft/sft_paper_draft.tex`, `sft_bibliography.bib` | Compiles as a complete draft structure; universality section is integrated; engine appendix is included; worked example is included |
| Pass 02 | NDB strengthened to “referee acceptable” | `score10/pass_02_ndb_derivation/NDB_STRONG.md` | Clear assumptions; diffusion limit statement; explicit mapping to SADM; scoped and honest |
| Pass 03 | Novelty and contributions sharpened | `score10/pass_03_contributions_novelty/CONTRIBUTIONS.md`, `contributions_table.tex` | A crisp contributions section + table; “what is new” reads unavoidable; aligns to artifacts |
| Pass 04 | Add a truly nontrivial SFT theorem chain | `score10/pass_04_flagship_theorem/FLAGSHIP_THEOREM.md` | One theorem that is not just degree theory: quantitative certificate → robust persistence → diagnostic bound |
| Pass 05 | Artifact appendix finalized | `score10/pass_05_artifacts_appendix/ARTIFACTS_APPENDIX.tex` | WSC/WOB schemas referenced; example artifacts included; audit instructions included |
| Pass 06 | Referee map finalized for the draft | `score10/pass_06_referee_map/REFEREE_MAP.tex` | Every claim in the draft maps to theorem + file + artifact; nonclaims preserved |
| Pass 07 | Coupled atlas tightened (beyond SOL) | `score10/pass_07_coupled_atlas/COUPLED_ATLAS.md` | Two additional coupling classes fully integrated with targets and baselines |
| Pass 08 | Dynamics boundary sharpened + margins | `score10/pass_08_dynamics/DYNAMICS_BOUNDARY.md` | WPD/WBD margin conditions explicit and referenced in the draft |
| Pass 09 | Example pack expanded | `score10/pass_09_examples/EXAMPLES_APPENDIX.md` | At least three worked examples (global, embedded, coupled) with WSC/WOB |
| Pass 10 | Submission polish and final consistency pass | `score10/pass_10_polish/POLISH_CHECKLIST.md` | No informal universality language; consistent notation; consistent file pointers; pass/fail checklist |
