# EM-OPS-01 provider comparison

+Claude and Grok independently converge on **COMPLETE BOTH RESERVED MODELS** with no new catalogue or runtime identifier. Both assign reusable authored knowledge, immutable editions, competence requirements and adoption effectivity to `vr.wm-act-009`; both assign process family, concurrent variants, released definitions, instances, work items, observed executions, deviations and compensation to `vr.wm-act-003`.

+The reconciled candidate adopts Grok's exact digest and adoption-record pins, explicit cutover for an in-flight change, plural atomic-act references, external Task and Assignment references, and reproducible immutable conformance results. It retains Claude's separation of work-item state from execution, append-only correction and compensation, and refusal of unsupported BPMN/CMMN conformance.

+No contradiction changes the boundary decision. Claude allowed later steps to bind a newly adopted edition mid-flight; Grok required explicit cutover. The candidate uses the stricter rule: an active instance changes pins only through an authorized `CutoverRecord`. `StepExecution.actRefs[]` stays zero-to-many pending the atomic-act crosswalk. Legacy assemblies remain immutable non-installable references.
