A.13:0 - Use This When

Use this pattern when a precise claim of agency matters: which System qualifies for a local goal-directed system-role kind, and which assignment actually holds for the action in question? Start with that System, the kind and criterion it satisfies, the obtaining assignment, and only the scope, situation and window the use needs. Keep the evidence for those facts recoverable. The first result is a supported agency claim, not a five-characteristic measurement exercise.

Open the characteristic profile when a Grade, autonomy or profile claim consumes it, when the local kind’s criterion depends on a characteristic, or when a named assurance use requires it. Otherwise stop at the core. A characteristic-only claim about an admitted System need not assert a system-role assignment.

Ordinary use of “agent” does not by itself require this precise account. Use A.12 for an acting/changed-participant question and A.15.1 for whether a particular dated Work occurrence took place.
