Recognises an ambiguous business term in a data requirement

What it means

A business word that has two meanings in the organisation, or a qualifier nobody has defined. Two readers would select different records.

How it is assessed

Flags the deficient case and passes the acceptable one. Deficient: "Store the address of every active customer." (active since when? by which measure?) Acceptable: "Store the address of every customer who holds an open account." Or keep active customer, mark it for the glossary and add an `open_question` until it is defined.
