A.6.P.WMR:4.6 - Recognition and assurance remain separate

For ordinary recognition, the first three questions and one of four truthful exits are enough. Use the two assurance questions and explicit claim-dimension vocabulary only when they can change the answer or a named later use needs to inspect it.

A practitioner MAY open a separate assurance branch when the receiving use additionally needs evidence, warrant, assurance, gate, currentness, publication, or reliance. Apply the relevant evidence, assurance, gate, currentness, publication, or reliance check to the exact direct subject claim, A.6.1 application binding, local A.15.PROD or A.6.RCD claim, or non-assertability result together with its governor. Preserve factually unsupported, missing-information, and missing-governor as different reasons; only the last can name a future pattern or declaration need, and only when that need is identifiable. Support or assurance changes neither polarity nor whether the subject relation obtains.

DPF or FPF authoring may trigger the applicable E.19, A.10, B.3, or other assurance checks. Those checks remain with their subject patterns rather than becoming a second WMR checklist.
