A.10.1:4.3 - Bound the Search Frame and Make Coverage Reproducible
These fields apply when affected-use discovery is selected. Set the frame before treating found candidates as the universe. Keep it in the existing result or working source at the detail needed to interpret the search. A harmless reference repair opens none of these fields. A claim of no impact across a frame does require adequate coverage and support for that frame.
| Search-frame field | Minimum useful content |
|---|---|
| Present question | The decision, result, release, account, or other use for which impact matters now. |
| Organizational and product boundary | Named project, product, portfolio, organization, or other working boundary. |
| Receiving families | Decision, result, model, specification, plan, account, procedure, or other families in which a use would count. |
| Conditions | Configurations, jurisdictions, populations, situations, intervals, horizons, or editions that bound applicability. |
| Discovery surfaces | Repositories, registers, model stores, data catalogues, decision records, account stores, owner-held sources, and other included locations. |
| Owners and access | Responsible contacts, access limits, and any surface whose owner or identity is unresolved. |
| Explicit exclusions | The boundary and exclusion reasons needed to delimit this question. Group equivalent exclusions; do not enumerate every non-receiving product, period or mention. |
Coverage is adequate only relative to that frame. Use complementary routes:
- Source-outward discovery starts from exact source identifiers, claim addresses, aliases, citations, backlinks, provenance, data or model lineage, declared traces, and transformations.
- Receiver-oriented discovery inspects the included receiving families for the same or an equivalent premise, limit, parameter, assumption, evidence use, or decision basis, even when the source identifier is absent.
One justified complete index may cover both directions. Otherwise state both routes and their limits. For every surface, record the query or inspection basis, the source identifiers and aliases used, the date or source value inspected when it matters, and the result or gap. An unsearched, inaccessible, stale, unindexed, or identity-ambiguous surface is a discovery-coverage gap. Outside the covered surface, a use is not found, not established unaffected.
