A.11.OP:4.3 - Judge material plausibility through the subject claim

Materially plausible means more than logical possibility and less than certainty. The direct owner of the claimed consequence supplies its standard of evidence. A low-probability result can remain material when its consequence changes exposure or the admissible policy. A large information volume is material only when some possible result changes a named receiving use.

When the branches cannot be distinguished, name the exact claim and missing basis and return them to that claim’s direct owner. Keep the qualified answer already supported. A bounded experiment is one possible continuation only when an attainable result and worthwhile contribution justify its whole burden under §4.2. Unresolved usefulness alone does not select an experiment or create permanent mandatory status.
