VELION distinguishes architecture targets from runtime evidence.

Allowed labels:

• CURRENT_VERIFIED_FLEET — current fleet count supported by evidence.
• TARGET_CAPACITY — an engineering target, not a deployment claim.
• DESIGN_CAPACITY — architecture designed for that scale, not proof of operation at that scale.
• SIMULATED_CAPACITY — tested in simulation only.
• DEPLOYED_CAPACITY — deployed resources, not automatically healthy or verified.
• LIVE_VERIFIED_CAPACITY — live capacity with current runtime evidence.

Canonical rule:

TARGET_CAPACITY != LIVE_VERIFIED_CAPACITY

The 10,000 / 100,000 / 1,000,000 NCA figures are long-term TARGET_CAPACITY / DESIGN_CAPACITY unless independent evidence proves a stronger state.

No README, website, benchmark, press text, dashboard, or social post may upgrade a capacity label without matching evidence.
