# Compile-Time Evaluation / Build Complexity

> "compile-time-evaluation" (declarative-core layer) is traded against "Build Complexity" (declarative-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Build Complexity" and choosing an explicit operating point.
