A.15.9:7 - Conformance and practical checks
A use conforms only when the checks needed by its claimed result pass:
- The receiving decision or Work, receiver, and action that can change are recognizable to a cold reader.
- An already-available result is inspected before new supplier Work is requested, unless none can reasonably be found at the required cost.
- The first result gives the useful supported answer and its material limit or exact blocker. Any new request is selected for its obtainable contribution against the whole acquisition burden under
C.11.DUA; a limitation alone requires neither a request nor a separate no-request explanation. - Subject, configuration or situation, interval, assumptions, intended use, and non-use boundary are present at the grain that can change the answer.
- The supplying practice keeps its Method, evidence standards, qualification, and domain authority; the receiver keeps its own decision authority unless a separate relation says otherwise.
- Request, WorkPlan, assignment, communicative Work, dated Work, result, evidence, delivery, acceptance, reliance, authority, and receiving decision are not collapsed.
- A performer, capability, assignment, authority, or Work claim appears only when its direct basis is current. Actual performer recovery follows
A.13, independent Work admission followsA.15.1, andF.6applies after that admission when the receiving claim requires precise assignment-bound attribution. A.10governs evidence, provenance, currentness, and bounded reliance rather than being copied here.- A supported result, bounded objection, and honest blocker are all usable returns; an approval-looking label cannot erase a blocker.
- The reopen condition names the smallest changed fact that can alter this use, not a ritual periodic review.
Recognition check. Give a reader a department-, document-, approval-, or tool-shaped request. The reader should be able to name the receiving decision, return the supported answer or exact blocker, and select further acquisition only when worthwhile, without designing an organization.
Assurance check. For consequential reliance, ask which direct domain Method, evidence, source edition, independence or conflict condition, authority, acceptance rule, applicability window, and stop are required. Missing assurance narrows or blocks reliance; it does not erase a separately identified source or result.
