| Useful proposal | A project needs a coherent possible-future account, while coherence does not identify a Method. |
| Composition evidence | Participant Methods and relations may be supported unevenly, while one missing load-bearing relation can defeat the whole claim. |
| Variation | A reusable Method permits bounded variation, while unlimited adaptation destroys reidentification. |
| Trialability | A WorkPlan can make uncertainty testable, while planned or performed Work does not backdate Method existence. |
| Honest lowering | A lower result must remain actionable, while it cannot hide unresolved identity or relation claims. |
