The learning point is not the hypothesis, it is the QUESTION — and confirmed/refuted is too coarse.
"partial, only critical suppliers" or "certified but not lived" are not "wrong", they are valuable
knowledge. So the chain is Hypothesis -> Question -> Observation -> (Review) -> Hypothesis, and the
observation model must be defined cleanly before any store/API (else thousands of too-coarse
observations get migrated later).
compliance/onboarding/observations.py:
- ObservationType: confirmed / partial / refuted / not_applicable / unknown (richer than binary).
- Observation: {hypothesis_id, capability, question, answer (free text), observation_type,
scope_note ("only critical suppliers"), evidence_uploaded, reviewed, reviewed_by}.
- empirical_distribution() -> a DISTRIBUTION (confirmed 61 / partial 31 / refuted 8), not one %.
- empirical_confidence() -> (confirmed + 0.5*partial) / (confirmed+partial+refuted); n.a./unknown
excluded; None until calibrated.
- REVIEW GATE: only reviewed observations calibrate — a raw answer never changes a hypothesis (no
learning from outliers).
Refactor: the hypothesis is now PURE curated knowledge — the binary observations counter and any
confidence are removed from CapabilityHypothesis and the YAML; confidence is COMPUTED from the separate
reviewed observation stream. Pure, mypy --strict clean. Persistence/aggregation/calibration are 59b/c/d.
Non-runtime -> no deploy. 12 tests pass, check-loc 0.
backend-compliance
Python/FastAPI service implementing the DSGVO compliance API: DSR, DSFA, consent, controls, risks, evidence, audit, vendor management, ISMS, change requests, document generation.
Port: 8002 (container: bp-compliance-backend)
Stack: Python 3.12, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy 2.x, Alembic, Keycloak auth.
Architecture
compliance/
├── api/ # Routers (thin, ≤30 LOC per handler)
├── services/ # Business logic

├── domain/ # Value objects, domain errors
├── schemas/ # Pydantic models, split per domain
└── db/models/ # SQLAlchemy ORM, one module per aggregate
The service follows this layered target structure but not all files are fully refactored yet. Phase 1 backlog is tracked in .claude/rules/loc-exceptions.txt (27 backend-compliance files currently excepted).
See ../AGENTS.python.md for the full convention and ../.claude/rules/architecture.md for the non-negotiable rules.

Public API surface
404+ endpoints across /api/v1/*. Grouped by domain: ai, audit, consent, dsfa, dsr, gdpr, vendor, evidence, change-requests, generation, projects, company-profile, isms. Every path is a contract — see the "Public endpoints" rule in the root CLAUDE.md.
