+
+Las oportunidades / la etapa de intake **no llevan restricciones de evidencia ni de artefactos deliverable**. El "gate" de intake es el **gate de promoción (opportunity → initiative)**: su única parametrización son los **criterios/reglas que el tenant define y que una oportunidad debe cumplir para promoverse a iniciativa**, evaluados sobre los **campos del registro opportunity**. Ese es el punto de personalización del tenant en intake.
+
+Desde las **fases de la iniciativa en adelante** (discovery → design → construction → qa → release), el gate es **dirigido por artefactos** (§2): evidencia requerida = artefactos deliverable del Core de la fase; los criterios evalúan **los campos de esos artefactos**.

+Por tanto la fuente del `artifactType` de los criterios depende de la fase:
+- **Intake** → `opportunity` (el registro; reglas de promoción). Sin evidencia deliverable; el guard "sin artefactos Core ⇒ sin criterios" **no** aplica aquí.

 **Rule of gold:** *If Core defines no artifacts for a phase, Tracker allows no evidence and no gate criteria there — there is nothing to parametrize.*
 
+### 2.2 Intake is a promotion gate, not a deliverable gate
+
+Opportunities / the intake stage carry **no evidence or deliverable-artifact restrictions**. The intake "gate" is the **promotion gate (opportunity → initiative)**: its only parametrization is the **tenant-defined criteria/rules an opportunity must satisfy to be promoted to an initiative**, evaluated over the **opportunity record's fields**. This is the tenant's customization point at intake.
+
+From **initiative phases onward** (discovery → design → construction → qa → release) the gate is **artifact-driven** (§2 above): required evidence = the phase's Core deliverable artifacts; criteria evaluate **those artifacts' fields**.
+
+Consequently the criteria `artifactType` source is phase-dependent:
+- **Intake** → `opportunity` (the record; promotion rules). No deliverable evidence; the "no Core artifacts ⇒ no criteria" guard does **not** apply here.
+- **Phase gates** → the phase's Core deliverable artifacts (PRD, blueprint, test-results…). The guard applies.
