ADR 0021 — Project-specific evidence precedes general model claims

Status: accepted

Evidence is ordered project → suite revision → corpus → retrieval configuration → target embedding space/deployment → environment. ModelForge may report ExampleRAG eligibility from comparable local runs, but M6 makes no global “best model” recommendation. A later Advisor may consume this evidence without weakening its provenance hierarchy.
