A.19.ECS:4.4 - Discriminating-case test

An evaluation is not ready if it cannot distinguish these three outcomes:

1. Admissible evaluated object. The object is of the evaluated object kind and can meet or exceed the floor under the declared use.
2. Below-floor evaluated object. The object is of the evaluated object kind or a declared comparable family, but fails one or more floors.
3. Outside-declared-object-kind boundary case. Before the evaluation is opened, the object should return to evaluation selection or construction rather than be treated as the evaluated object kind. If the evaluation has already been invoked for that object, the result is an explicit object-kind-fit defect/value or repair status, not omitted coordinates.

Example: for a nuclear-plant adequacy evaluation, a nuclear plant can vary along safety, output, maintenance, regulatory, thermal, waste-handling, grid, and resilience coordinates. A coal plant may be a power-generation alternative only when the declared use explicitly compares power-generation options across plant kinds. A chair or FPF pattern is outside the nuclear-plant evaluated-object kind: before opening the evaluation it returns to a suitable evaluation; after a forced invocation, the record shows an object-kind-fit defect/value rather than pretending the chair has weak nuclear-plant quality or silently skipping coordinates.
