Maturity: emerging
The risk that an evaluation does not truly measure the construct it purports to measure — that it fails to capture all and only the components the construct requires. Manifests as failure to register construct-relevant evidence present in the input (under-sensitivity), or as the score moving on signals relevant only to a different construct (contamination).
This subcategory is emerging. It has not yet been validated through established assessment methods.
