B.3:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
|---|
| Small result vs inspectability | A practitioner needs a quick result, while a consequential or reusable claim may need a replayable argument. |
| Shared discipline vs domain meaning | Assurance needs common boundaries, while each characteristic and aggregation rule gets its meaning from its subject and domain. |
| Conservatism vs useful synthesis | The result must avoid overstatement without discarding justified combination or independent lines of support. |
| Formal clarity vs warranted belief | Formalization can improve inspectability and checking while leaving truth or empirical adequacy unchanged. |
| Current use vs change over time | An assurance conclusion must be usable now and reopen when its basis, scope, or conditions change. |
