# Re-Rating & Supersession

A rating is a snapshot. Later remediation or new evidence creates a new rating event; it does not mutate the old one.

## When To Re-Rate

Re-rating is appropriate when:

- A remediation package has been accepted or actioned.
- New society evidence changes leakage state.
- A methodology, workflow, taxonomy, or jurisdictional scope version changes.
- A prior workflow failed and must be rerun before the subject is rateable.

## What Changes

The new event gets its own:

- Snapshot time.
- Run ID.
- Evidence packet hash.
- Leakage vector hash.
- Merkle root.
- Proof state.
- Methodology and workflow metadata.

Historical events remain verifiable under their original contracts.
