A.19.UINDM:9 - Consequences

Benefits

  • Makes “which characteristics count as indicators” explicit, auditable, and policy‑bound.
  • Prevents downstream semantic drift by freezing an indicator subset early in the CHR pipeline.
  • Improves reproducibility via edition‑determinism (fixed editions ⇒ stable result).
  • Preserves evolvability: new indicator selection method families can be added via wiring (packs/extensions) without changing the mechanism’s intension.

Costs / trade‑offs

  • Adds an explicit step (and explicit policy work) before scoring/comparison.
  • Strict fail‑closed behavior can increase early degrade/abstain outcomes until evidence and policies are properly specified.
