Reading the diagnosis

Verdict pills

The verdict pill is the colour-coded marker that surfaces the closed reading at a glance. It appears at the top of the result page as the domain verdict and on every band reading row as the per-variable reading.

What is a verdict pill

A verdict pill is a small inline label that carries one closed-vocabulary reading. The pill background, text colour, and any border are locked by Design System v1.3 and the verdict-pill mappings in the IADTX Communication Handoff Section 6. The pill renders the same way on every result page, every report, and every page in this docs surface.

Palette walkthrough

One pill per row, rendered live from the same component classes that the result page uses. The slug on the right is the closed-vocabulary identifier the engine emits.

  • Additive additive
  • Weakly multiplicative weakly_multiplicative
  • Multiplicative multiplicative
  • Strongly multiplicative strongly_multiplicative
  • Super-multiplicative super_multiplicative
  • Unclassifiable unclassifiable
  • Mixed mixed
  • Self-regulating self_regulating

How to read the pill

Four states cover the bulk of what a buyer sees in the field. Multiplicative reads as the structural reading the IADTX engine is designed to surface. Additive reads as the failure to compose multiplicatively. Mixed reads as a real but composite reading that requires sub-population disaggregation. Unclassifiable reads as a hold state where the engine could not assign one of the closed labels.

Colour discipline

Red is for additive, failure, problem states. Green is for IADTX, multiplicative, passed states. The product never inverts these.

The locked semantic rule above is held in the Communication Handoff Section 6 and is enforced by the test suite. Inverting any of the pill colour mappings is the most visible bug class on the product.
