B.3:4.5 - Choose one of three proof paths

Compact path. Use the six-field result in 4.2. Stop when it decides the named use.

Calculated or model-bearing path. Add the characteristic results, dependency structure, assumptions, aggregation rule, rival, calculation trace, and sensitivity or failure condition actually used.

Replay path. Add Work, performer, Method, application bindings, witnesses, and a reusable note only when those identities change the named assurance use. For any assessment Work, use A.13 to identify the actual performer and A.15.1 to admit the dated occurrence independently. Add F.6 only if the replay must also say exactly under which assignment the Work was performed. The Work, performer, Method, optional assignment check, result, witness, note, and publication remain separate.

Do not select the replay path merely because the use is important. Importance may make more basis necessary, but every added field must change inspectability, contestability, or the decision.
