This document presents the basic definitions and relationships of JDF (Judgment Decision Framework), CVO (Criterion Violation Output), and CSO (Criterion Satisfied Output). JDF is a criteria-based judgment framework that understands judgment not as the result of absolute true-or-false evaluation, but as the result of certain criteria being generated, selected, and applied. In this view, judgment does not exist independently. It always occurs within the relationship between a criterion and an output. CVO means a criterion violation state in which a specific output does not satisfy a given criterion. CSO means a criterion satisfied state in which a specific output satisfies a given criterion. Neither concept means absolute error or absolute correctness. Both refer to a relative state under a specific criterion. Therefore, one output may be classified as CSO under one criterion and as CVO under another criterion. This document uses Criterion-Selection Theory as its theoretical background. Criterion-Selection Theory understands choice and action as the outward expression of a structure of criteria. This document extends that view into the area of judgment and output evaluation. Through this extension, the document provides a conceptual basis for analyzing multiple criteria, criterion conflict, criterion priority, and responsibility location in human judgment, organizational decisions, technical systems, and AI output evaluation. This document is not an execution manual or a case analysis paper. It is a basic document for defining JDF, CVO, and CSO as independent concepts. CSVC (Criterion Satisfaction Violation Checker) is briefly discussed as the execution layer of JDF. The full instruction set and detailed application procedure may be handled in a separate document.
