B.5.2.1:10a - Trade‑offs & mitigations

  • Cognitive effort. Interpreting Pareto sets and coverage maps adds thinking overhead. Mitigation: standard “NQD Card” + default grids; keep Characteristics small in number (≤ 7). Manager shortcut: pick 2–3 Q characteristics that reflect the anomaly, then run with defaults.
  • Locality. Novelty/diversity are context‑local; Cross‑context reuse requires re‑measurement or an explicit mapping. This pattern does not define Cross‑context operational controls.
  • Not a magic idea machine. Abduction remains human/agentic; the pattern structures search, it does not automate insight. B.5.2 supplies the explanatory-hypothesis contribution; B.5 selects the next needed reasoning contribution.
  • Metric gaming & collinearity. Avoid making N and S redundant by policy; when strong collinearity is detected, freeze one as informative only and record rationale in the DRR.
