# Gap Pairwise Judgment

Make a criterion-by-criterion relative priority judgment between two gaps and output the preference result.

## HARD-GATE

<HARD-GATE>
- Input must contain two GapRecords with status: "complete" and at least 1 scoring criterion
- preferred_gap must be either gap_a_id or gap_b_id ("tie" is not allowed)
- saaty_value must be within the range [1, 9] (integer or fraction 1/n)
- Each criterion must have an independent comparison result
</HARD-GATE>

## Pipeline

1. **Precondition check**: Verify the completeness of the two GapRecords; confirm the criteria list is non-empty
2. **Criterion-by-criterion comparison**: For each criterion, independently judge the relative advantage of Gap A versus Gap B; record which is better and why
3. **Overall preference determination**: Aggregate by weighting each criterion's weight to determine the overall preference direction
4. **Saaty scale assignment**: Map preference strength to the Saaty scale (1=equal / 3=slightly better / 5=clearly better / 7=strongly better / 9=extremely better); if B is better than A, take the reciprocal
5. **Output**: Return the PairwiseJudgment object
