# Council Critical Validation

Apply together with `05_VALIDACAO_CRITICA — Executive Council` from Drive.
If this skill differs from that document, the Drive wins.

## Gate
Do not close a critical decision until every material premise has a traceable origin or is explicitly marked uncertain.

## Validation
1. State the decision to be closed.
2. List only premises that could change it.
3. For each premise, identify source and freshness.
4. Challenge the weakest premise.
5. Build the strongest realistic countercase.
6. Check hidden consequence:
   - money/obligation;
   - health/safety;
   - legal/regulatory;
   - data/privacy/security;
   - relationship;
   - time/opportunity cost;
   - reversibility.
7. Confirm authority: who owns the merit and who can authorize execution?
8. Check whether a safer/reversible test can answer the question first.
9. Define stop conditions and review triggers.
10. Close only when evidence strength matches consequence.

## Hallucination-risk gate
If any material claim relies on:
- a required source not consulted;
- unsupported specific data;
- conflicting sources without resolution;
- memory against canonical state;
- gap-filling by plausibility;
- certainty greater than evidence;
then flag RISCO DE ALUCINAÇÃO and classify that point as INCERTO until validated.

## Output
Decision/status first.
Then only the premises, risks, conditions, and evidence needed for auditability.
