Utility dataset: cold delivered as chilled water at 6 degC by an electric vapour-compression chiller, per MWh of cold, with a Carnot-fraction COP and its heat rejected to cooling water. Incomplete: refrigerant losses are not counted yet.
Chilled water at 6 degC from an electric chiller
Utility dataset: cold delivered as chilled water at 6 degC by an electric vapour-compression chiller, per MWh of cold, with a Carnot-fraction COP and its heat rejected to cooling water. Incomplete: refrigerant losses are not counted yet.

Maturity and review
Design maturity Concept (claimed): An idea or first flowsheet; numbers are rough. No independent engineering review yet. Automated checks passing is not a review.
Calculation maturity, from the checked evidenceNot assessed
The process has no maturity report (cheme maturity, checks/maturity.json), so no calculation maturity is established.
No level shownThe design maturity (Concept) is the manifest's claim, not evidence. A level appears here once the process's repository holds a current report from
cheme maturity --write.Artifact completeness
Which deliverables exist. They never raise a calculation maturity level: a drawing from unchecked numbers is still unchecked.
Not reported without a maturity report.
Independent review
Not independently reviewed
No independent engineering review yet. Automated checks passing is not a review.
Set by people only. Reaching a calculation maturity level or passing automated checks is not an independent review or an approval.
