Human-Reviewer-to-Formal-Spec Translation

How can theologians, clergy, scholars, ministry practitioners, and community reviewers translate qualitative judgments about faith-facing AI into formal specifications that are faithful to expert intent and usable in evaluation?

Why this matters

The question behind the brief.

Formal verification is only useful in faith contexts if the formal rules reflect real domain judgment. Reviewers may know when an answer is misleading, overconfident, pastorally inappropriate, or tradition-confused, but that judgment must be translated carefully before it becomes a machine-checkable constraint. Poor translation could encode the wrong thing with false precision.
