B.3:9 - Consequences

Benefits

• Assurance remains explicit without forcing one cross-domain score.
• A small local claim can stop after six fields.
• Calculations become more trustworthy because assumptions and dependency structure are visible.
• Domain safety, access, responsibility, status, and decision rules retain their own meaning.
• Visible artifacts can contribute useful provenance or evidence without becoming authority.

Trade-offs

• B.3 supplies no convenient universal number. A project must use the domain model that gives its inputs meaning.
• Some assurance questions remain unresolved until a dependency model, calibrated mapping, or direct domain requirement is supplied.
• Reusable replay records cost more than a compact result and therefore require an actual receiver.
