Here is a structural description of each, including the version-mismatch note required by the validator.\\n\\nVersion mismatch (F23): The document's metadata declares oscal-version 1.2.2, but the validator judged it against the vendored OSCAL 1.2.3 schema and constraints. Rules may differ between the two versions (validator issue #8), so any finding could reflect a 1.2.3 rule that did not exist or was worded differently in 1.2.2.\\n\\nMissing import (F22): The import-profile/href value '#b78aa3ec-915d-475b-8097-46813fae1825' is a fragment reference pointing to an internal resource that was not supplied to the validator. Because the referenced profile was absent, the validator could not resolve it.\\n\\nUnverifiable references (F6–F21): Sixteen fields — control-id au-1, statement-ids au-1_smt / au-1_smt.a / au-1_smt.a.1 / au-1_smt.a.2 / au-1_smt.b / au-1_smt.b.1 / au-1_smt.b.2, and param-ids au-1_prm_1 / au-1_prm_2 / au-1_prm_3 (the param-id appearing across multiple by-components entries) — were flagged REFERENCE_UNVERIFIABLE. As noted in the evidence, 'Understanding how identifiers are scoped and referenced is essential for ensuring consistent data linkage and model integrity' [Q1], and identifier resolution requires the defining document to be present. Because the profile identified in F22 was not supplied, the validator had no source against which to confirm that these control, statement, and parameter identifiers actually exist; it therefore could not verify them, not assert they are wrong.\\n\\nUnverifiable constraints (F1–F5): 59 TokenDatatype pattern checks, 200 allowed-values constraints, 12 expect constraints, 1 index constraint, and 25 matches constraints were reported as PATTERN_NOT_CHECKED or CONSTRAINT_NOT_EVALUATED. This means the validator was unable to run those checks — again most likely a consequence of the missing profile — and makes no assertion about whether the values are valid or invalid.\\n\\nIn summary, the root structural issue the validator identified is the absence of the imported profile. Without it, a large portion of the document's referential integrity cannot be checked at all. Supplying the profile (or resolving the fragment reference) is the first concrete remediation step the document author can take to allow the validator to produce definitive pass/fail results on those checks.\",\n  \"quotes\": [\n    {\n      \"id\": \"Q1\",\n      \"source\": \"identifier-use\",\n      \"text\": \"Understanding how identifiers are scoped and referenced is essential for ensuring consistent data linkage and model integrity.\"\n    }\n  ],\n  \"next_step\": \"Resolve the import-profile href '#b78aa3ec-915d-475b-8097-46813fae1825' so the referenced profile is available to the validator, then re-run validation to obtain definitive results on F1–F21.

As the documentation states, [Q1] 'NIST's OSCAL tools do not explicitly check that JSON, XML, or YAML is well-formed. If you are a tool developer, we expect you to use your language runtime and libraries to parse JSON, XML, and YAML and check for the well-formed data. This must occur before validating an OSCAL document.' Well-formedness is therefore a precondition for validation, not part of it.\\n\\n'Valid' refers to the structural and semantic conformance of a parsed document against the OSCAL schemas (e.g., JSON Schema or XML Schema). Evidence 3 points to schema-based validators as the tools that perform this check [Q2].\\n\\nBoth properties together define whether software can treat a file as OSCAL at all. As NIST puts it, [Q3] 'Generally, both \\\"well-formedness\\\" and \\\"validity\\\" of OSCAL instance data determine if a conformant OSCAL application can process such data. In this way, \\\"well-formedness\\\" and \\\"validity\\\" define the boundary between what can be considered OSCAL data and what cannot.' NIST further emphasises why both matter: [Q4] 'Being able to validate documents against externally-specified schemas (mutually and generally understood) is a foundation of robust, secure data interchange and interoperability.'\\n\\nIn short: well-formed means the file parses without error in its native format; valid means the parsed content satisfies the OSCAL schema constraints.

It means the validator encountered a condition where it could not complete a check and therefore can report neither a pass nor a violation. It is not a finding of error, but it is also not a finding of conformance. Three distinct sub-types appear in this report.\\n\\nFirst, unevaluated constraints (F1–F5). The validator was unable to run 200 allowed-values constraints, 12 expect constraints, 1 index constraint, 25 matches constraints, and 59 token-datatype pattern checks. The metaschema-constraints evidence states [Q1] that processors are required to evaluate allowed-values constraints, so these are not optional checks — they simply could not execute, most likely because the profile referenced in F22 was not supplied, removing the catalog content those constraints depend on.\\n\\nSecond, unverifiable references (F6–F21). Every control-id, statement-id, and param-id listed (au-1, au-1_smt, au-1_smt.a, au-1_smt.a.1, au-1_smt.a.2, au-1_smt.b, au-1_smt.b.1, au-1_smt.b.2, au-1_prm_1, au-1_prm_2, au-1_prm_3) is a reference that must be resolved against the catalog or profile the SSP imports. Because the import was not supplied (F22), the validator had no catalog to look up those identifiers in and could not confirm or deny that they exist.\\n\\nThird, the missing import (F22). The SSP's import-profile href points to the internal URI #b78aa3ec-915d-475b-8097-46813fae1825. The validator reports this resource was not supplied, which is the root cause of the cascading REFERENCE_UNVERIFIABLE and CONSTRAINT_NOT_EVALUATED findings above.\\n\\nFinally, the version mismatch (F23, WARNING). The document declares oscal-version 1.2.2, but every finding in this report was judged against the vendored OSCAL 1.2.3 schema and constraints. A rule present in 1.2.3 may not exist in 1.2.2, or may differ between the two versions, so the findings should be interpreted in that light.\\n\\nIn summary, the 22 UNVERIFIABLE findings do not represent confirmed structural errors; they represent checks the validator could not complete, chiefly because the referenced profile was unavailable. The one WARNING (F23) flags the version discrepancy. No structural violations were confirmed, but no structural conformance was confirmed either for the unevaluated checks.\",\n  \"quotes\": [\n    {\n      \"id\": \"Q1\",\n      \"source\": \"metaschema-constraints\",\n      \"text\": \"Metaschema processors MUST process <allowed-values> constraints.\"\n    }\n  ],\n  \"next_step\": \"To resolve the UNVERIFIABLE findings, supply the profile (or resolved catalog) referenced by import-profile href #b78aa3ec-915d-475b-8097-46813fae1825 to the validator so it can evaluate the 238 unevaluated constraints and 16 unverifiable references.

The OSCAL SSP model is described as enabling 'full modeling of highly granular SSP content … control parameter values, responsible roles, implementation status, control origination, and a description of control satisfaction at a level of granularity down to a specific control statement' [Q1].

The evidence covers document identifiers, human-readable identifier rules, version control with links, OSCAL extensions, allowed-values constraint processing, and markup-multiline table formatting — none of which defines by-component. I am therefore unable to quote a NIST definition for it from the supplied evidence and must stop there for that definitional question.\\n\\nWhat the validator did find structurally about the by-components in this document: Findings F8 through F11, F16, and F18 through F20 are all REFERENCE_UNVERIFIABLE findings whose paths sit inside by-components elements under the single implemented-requirement (control-id au-1). Each reports that a param-id (au-1_prm_1, au-1_prm_2, au-1_prm_3) could not be verified. The root cause is visible in F22 (IMPORT_NOT_SUPPLIED): the import-profile href points to an internal fragment (#b78aa3ec-915d-475b-8097-46813fae1825) that was not supplied to the validator, so the catalog or profile containing those parameter definitions was unavailable. Without the referenced catalog/profile, the validator cannot confirm that the param-ids, control-id (au-1, F6), or statement-ids (F7, F12–F15, F17, F21) actually exist in the source catalog. All of those findings are therefore UNVERIFIABLE rather than outright errors.\\n\\nAdditionally, F23 (OSCAL_VERSION_DIFFERS) reports that the document declares oscal-version 1.2.2 but was judged against the vendored OSCAL 1.2.3 schema and constraints. As the validator note states, a rule may differ between the two versions, so any finding should be understood as being against 1.2.3, not 1.2.2.\\n\\nFinally, F1 through F5 report broad categories of constraints (pattern checks, allowed-values, expect, index, and matches constraints) that were not evaluated — again because the missing import makes full evaluation impossible.

Tools and users creating OSCAL documents may choose to use any of the optional fields, as well as extension mechanisms (e.g., properties, links) to go beyond this minimum to suit their use cases.'

This matters because schema rules and constraint definitions can change between minor versions; a rule that exists in 1.2.3 may be absent, differently worded, or have a different allowed-value set in 1.2.2, and vice versa. The consequence is that any of the 23 findings could reflect a 1.2.3 rule that does not exist in the version the document declares, and findings that would fire under 1.2.2 constraints might not appear here at all (issue #8 in the validator's own tracking). This is an oscal-validate policy finding, not a rule stated in NIST's published schema; NIST's published documentation describes version-control patterns using links [Q1] but does not itself mandate that a document and a validator must share the same minor version.\\n\\nF22 and the --resolve flag: F22 reports IMPORT_NOT_SUPPLIED for /system-security-plan/import-profile/href, whose value is the bare fragment '#b78aa3ec-915d-475b-8097-46813fae1825'. NIST's reference documentation states that this value form is 'a bare URI fragment (i.e., `#uuid`) pointing to a back-matter resource in this or an imported document' [Q2]. That back-matter resource is expected to be an OSCAL profile (or catalog). NIST further states: 'If the resource is an OSCAL profile, it is expected that a tool will resolve the profile according to the OSCAL profile resolution specification to produce a resolved profile for use when processing the containing system security plan. This allows a system security plan processor to use the baseline as a catalog of controls.' [Q3]. Profile resolution is the process by which, as NIST describes, 'OSCAL profiles define a set of operations that are to be performed on one or more control catalogs to sufficiently reduce and tailor the catalog for use as a system implementation baseline' [Q4] — selecting controls, merging them, and applying modifications — to produce a resolved catalog. The --resolve flag in oscal-validate is the validator's own mechanism (not a NIST-defined flag) that instructs the tool to fetch and perform that resolution so it can turn the 16 REFERENCE_UNVERIFIABLE findings (F6–F21) into verifiable checks: without resolution the validator cannot confirm that 'au-1', 'au-1_smt', 'au-1_smt.a', 'au-1_smt.a.1', 'au-1_smt.a.2', 'au-1_smt.b', 'au-1_smt.b.1', 'au-1_smt.b.2', 'au-1_prm_1', 'au-1_prm_2', or 'au-1_prm_3' actually exist in the referenced baseline, so those cross-references remain unverifiable. The document also references the profile via a back-matter fragment rather than an externally resolvable URI, which is why F22 fires even before resolution is attempted. NIST notes: 'While it is possible to reference a previously resolved OSCAL profile as a catalog, this practice is discouraged since the unresolved form of the profile communicates more information about selections and changes to the underlying catalog.'

Second, the OSCAL schema defines allowed values for impact levels under system-information: [Q1].

Its successful checks are those not appearing in the findings list. For example, basic document structure, presence of required elements, and any constraint where sufficient data was locally resolvable were evaluated. As noted in the provided evidence, 'In OSCAL, identifiers play a critical role in referencing and linking data consistently and reliably across models' [Q1], and where those identifiers were locally present and resolvable, the validator could verify them.\\n\\nWHAT THE VALIDATOR COULD NOT CHECK:\\n\\n1. Pattern verification (F1): 59 values typed as TokenDatatype had their patterns marked PATTERN_NOT_CHECKED. The validator flagged these as unverifiable rather than passing or failing them.\\n\\n2. Constraint evaluation — allowed-values, expect, index, matches (F2–F5): 200 allowed-values constraints, 12 expect constraints, 1 index constraint, and 25 matches constraints were marked CONSTRAINT_NOT_EVALUATED. The index constraint type is described as checking 'if a value is a valid cross-reference to values in an existing index constraint' [Q2], and when the data needed to resolve such a constraint is unavailable, the validator cannot evaluate it.\\n\\n3.

The OSCAL SSP model defines statements as objects that 'Identify which statements within a control are addressed' [Q1], and by-component set-parameter as a mechanism where 'this by-component/set-parameter value will override the other value(s) in the context of the referenced component, control, and statement' [Q2].

Human-oriented identifiers such as control-id are described as 'non-colonized names' implemented as token data types [Q3]; their correctness against a specific catalog cannot be confirmed without that catalog.\\n\\nIn summary, the structural picture the validator can report is: the document is internally parseable as an SSP, one control (au-1) with multiple statements is present in the control-implementation section, but the referenced profile was not supplied so no cross-document reference could be verified and a large set of constraints remain unevaluated.

As the validator note states, a rule may differ between the two versions, so any finding must be understood in that context.\\n\\nMissing imported profile (F22): The import-profile href points to an internal URI fragment (#b78aa3ec-915d-475b-8097-46813fae1825). The validator could not resolve or retrieve that resource. This is structurally significant because, as the evidence explains, OSCAL cross-instance identifier references depend on import mechanisms: 'When implementing cross-instance references, identifier must be referenced in the context of the containing resource. The appropriate import attribute should be used (similar to a namespacing) to deconflict identifiers with the same values in the associated OSCAL instances.' [Q1] Without the profile being resolvable, the validator cannot look up the catalog to verify the identifiers cited in the control-implementation.\\n\\nUnverifiable references (F6–F21): All sixteen of these findings flow directly from F22. The control-id au-1, statement-ids such as au-1_smt / au-1_smt.a / au-1_smt.a.1 / au-1_smt.a.2 / au-1_smt.b / au-1_smt.b.1 / au-1_smt.b.2, and param-ids au-1_prm_1, au-1_prm_2, au-1_prm_3 are all defined in the profile or its resolved catalog.

The validator flagged these as UNVERIFIABLE, meaning it detected the fields but lacked the context (most likely the missing profile) to fully run the checks. This is a structural gap in what the validator was able to assess, not a confirmed pass or fail on those rules.\\n\\nTo summarize the structural picture: the document has one resolvability gap (F22) that cascades into 16 unverifiable cross-instance reference checks and a large set of unevaluated constraints, plus a version mismatch between what the document declares and what schema was used. The validator did not report any hard errors (e.g., schema violations or definitively failed constraints); all findings are UNVERIFIABLE, INFO, or WARNING.

The term is defined in evidence from uri-use: [Q1] 'The effective data model of a document includes all objects identified with the document and any directly or transitively imported documents.

In practical terms, when you write a URI fragment reference (e.g. #some-uuid) inside an OSCAL document, the validator resolves that reference against not only the document itself but also every document it directly or transitively imports — that entire combined set of objects is the 'effective data model' for resolution purposes.\\n\\n2. CROSS-INSTANCE REFERENCE. Evidence from model-ssp defines it as: [Q2] 'A cross-instance scoped identifier reference is used to reference information imported from another OSCAL instance.' The same evidence gives three concrete SSP examples: (a) the import-profile field, which points to an OSCAL profile or catalog representing the control baseline — [Q3] 'In this case, the controls and parameters referenced from the SSP can be verified to exist in the resolved profile'; (b) leveraged-authorization links to a leveraged SSP — [Q4] 'If the leveraging SSP author has access to the leveraged system SSP, this scenario supports validation of constraints on the leveraging SSP to enforce the referential integrity of cross-references to leveraged system SSP details'; and (c) links to component definitions — [Q5] 'If the component definition is resolvable, this scenario supports enforcement of referential integrity between the SSP and components in the component definition.' The Reference Constraints table in model-ssp further elaborates which specific fields carry cross-instance scope: for example, @control-id has 'import-profile' target scope and @component-uuid has 'instance scoped, leveraged authorization' scope [Q6].\\n\\n3.

The validator checks only structural conformance of the OSCAL document; it produces no finding about whether any control is implemented, whether risk is acceptable, or whether the system meets any baseline. That determination requires qualified, independent assessment personnel working with assessment evidence. I can only describe what the validator found and what OSCAL documents are relevant to continuous monitoring — see the explanation below.\",\n  \"explanation\": \"From a purely structural standpoint, several observations are relevant to the continuous monitoring question.\\n\\nFirst, the document under review is a System Security Plan (SSP), not an assessment artifact. The evidence makes clear that continuous monitoring effectiveness is determined through different OSCAL models. Specifically, [Q1] states that the assessment plan model 'is typically used by anyone planning to perform an assessment or continuous monitoring activities on an information system to determine the degree to which that system complies with a given control baseline used by the system.' Similarly, [Q2] notes that the assessment results model 'is typically used by anyone performing assessment or continuous monitoring activities on a system to determine the degree to which that system complies with one or more frameworks.' The POA&M is consumed by 'Continuous monitoring practitioners… as part of monitoring the system's security posture' [Q3]. None of those documents are present here; only the SSP was submitted.\\n\\nSecond, every single one of the 23 validator findings is classified UNVERIFIABLE. This means the validator was structurally unable to confirm or deny correctness for those items. Notably:\\n- F1–F5 indicate that pattern, allowed-values, expect, index, and matches constraints could not be evaluated (59 token values, 200 allowed-values constraints, 12 expect constraints, 1 index constraint, and 25 matches constraints).\\n- F6–F21 (sixteen findings) are REFERENCE_UNVERIFIABLE, meaning the validator could not resolve cross-references such as control-id au-1, statement-ids (au-1_smt, au-1_smt.a, au-1_smt.a.1, au-1_smt.a.2, au-1_smt.b, au-1_smt.b.1, au-1_smt.b.2), and param-ids (au-1_prm_1, au-1_prm_2, au-1_prm_3) against the referenced profile/catalog. This is directly caused by F22.\\n- F22 (INFO, IMPORT_NOT_SUPPLIED) reports that the profile referenced at import-profile href=#b78aa3ec-915d-475b-8097-46813fae1825 was not supplied to the validator.

As the validator note states, 'a rule may differ between the two'; findings must therefore be understood as being against 1.2.3, not 1.2.2.\\n\\nIn summary, the structural picture is: the referenced profile was not provided, making the bulk of cross-reference and constraint checks impossible; the document version differs from the judged schema version; and the SSP alone is structurally insufficient to support a continuous monitoring effectiveness determination, which requires assessment plan, assessment results, and POA&M artifacts per the OSCAL model design [Q1][Q2][Q3].\",\n  \"quotes\": [\n    {\n      \"id\": \"Q1\",\n      \"source\": \"model-assessment-plan\",\n      \"text\": \"The OSCAL assessment plan model represents the information contained within an assessment plan, and is typically used by anyone planning to perform an assessment or continuous monitoring activities on an information system to determine the degree to which that system complies with a given control baseline used by the system.\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"id\": \"Q2\",\n      \"source\": \"model-assessment-results\",\n      \"text\": \"This model is typically used by anyone performing assessment or continuous monitoring activities on a system to determine the degree to which that system complies with one or more frameworks.\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"id\": \"Q3\",\n      \"source\": \"model-poam\",\n      \"text\": \"Continuous monitoring practitioners consume the POA&M as part of monitoring the system's security posture.\"\n    }\n  ],\n  \"next_step\": \"To structurally enable continuous monitoring checks in the validator: (1) supply the referenced profile (UUID b78aa3ec-915d-475b-8097-46813fae1825) so that F6–F21 cross-references can be resolved and F22 is cleared; (2) align the document's declared oscal-version to 1.2.3 or re-validate against 1.2.2 to resolve F23.

The validator's note explicitly flags this uncertainty (issue #8).\\n\\nOSCAL version is a standard metadata field across all OSCAL models. As stated in the published documentation, metadata 'includes information such as the document's title, publication version, publication date, and OSCAL version' [Q1]. The field's purpose is to identify which version of the OSCAL specification the document was authored against; when that declared version and the validator's schema version do not match, the alignment of all other findings becomes uncertain to the extent that rules differ between the two versions.\\n\\nTo resolve F23 cleanly, the document should either be updated to declare oscal-version 1.2.3 (if it genuinely conforms to 1.2.3) or the validator should be run with a vendored 1.2.2 schema that matches the declared version.\",\n  \"quotes\": [\n    {\n      \"id\": \"Q1\",\n      \"source\": \"model-assessment-plan\",\n      \"text\": \"Metadata: Metadata syntax is identical and required in all OSCAL models.

The validator raised two separate findings for the same offending node — this is consistent with two distinct constraint rules both detecting the collision, or the index recording two conflicting entries and reporting each.

Any downstream tool — a profile that imports the catalog, a system security plan that references a control by id, or a human reader — cannot unambiguously resolve the identifier to a single subject. The validator enforces this through one or more index-based uniqueness constraints; F6 and F7 both report a CONSTRAINT_NOT_UNIQUE violation at the same location (/catalog/groups/0/controls/1) and the same @id value (ex-1), indicating that two separate index constraints in the ruleset both caught the same duplication.
