Case Analysis§ Annotation
The Dispute

The contractor delivered 8 slides instead of 10, three days after the agreed deadline, with no prior notice or renegotiation. The client refuses to release the $800 payment.

Why Non-comparative?

Non-comparative because fulfillment is a judgment call, not a number. Two validators may phrase 'material breach' differently but still reach the same conclusion — a rubric lets the sixth LLM judge whether they actually agree.

Why Not Ethereum?

Ethereum can only evaluate on-chain data. It cannot reason about whether 8 slides substantially fulfills a 10-slide contract — that requires language understanding. A Solidity contract would need an oracle that reduces subjective fulfillment to a binary, which defeats the purpose.
