Task Classes Under Assessment
Every order submitted to The Agentic Foresight Registry is classified into exactly one of six task classes before assessment begins. The classification is a select field on the order form. It is not inferred. It is not guessed from the wording of the task, and it is not revised afterwards by anything reading that wording — classification is deterministic input, supplied by the buyer, and the buyer's choice is the one the method uses.
Each of the six classes carries its own fixed set of four tracked risk factors, with fixed severities, documented in full on that class's own page. Twenty-four risk factors in total. Four per class. None shared between classes. None inferred at runtime.
We call the line between the six the classification boundary, and it is drawn once, by the buyer, on the order form. Nothing downstream redraws it — not the method, not the certificate, and not any reading of the task description, which is hashed and discarded before the computation begins.
These pages publish risk profile and mechanics. They do not publish a verdict, a recommended execution window, or the hourly figures a certificate carries — that material exists only against a specific order, and delving through the directory does not reconstruct it.
The six task classes
The six classes are exhaustive by construction: five describe a recognisable operational shape, and the sixth exists so that a task which fits none of the other five is assessed as what it is rather than forced into a category it does not belong to.

Why classification is a select field
Classification is a select field because a select field cannot drift. A free-text task description is hashed and discarded; the class, by contrast, is one of six fixed strings, and the same string produces the same class every time it is submitted — from any environment, in any month, on any run. Think of it as the one input the buyer controls outright: nothing between the order form and the certificate reinterprets it.
Related surfaces
Task class is one of two assessed axes. The model configuration is the other. /models holds the maintained model list and their computed profiles; /method holds the AFR-1 derivation in full, published openly rather than described vaguely; /pricing.json holds structured pricing for every tier, unauthenticated, machine-readable, and identical to the prices printed on this page.

In conclusion: six classes, twenty-four tracked risk factors, one select field, and a price that is printed rather than quoted.
An assessment costs EUR 1.90 at the Standard tier, EUR 4.90 at the Extended tier, and EUR 14.90 at the Full Chart tier, which adds the permanent chart itself. Assessments from EUR 1.90. The task class is chosen on the order form, in one field, before anything is computed.
