C.11:5.1 - System grounding

Tell. A research team already has three experiment plans on the table. The option set exists. The real question is to decide which plan to run and whether one more measurement is worth the delay.

Show. The DecisionSubject is the team, the DecisionSubjectGranularity is team-level, the OptionSet is the three current plans, the team’s PreferenceOrder puts risk reduction ahead of schedule convenience, and the current OutcomeModel still carries calibration uncertainty. The extra calibration run belongs in the ProbeActionSet, its one-day delay is part of the ProbeBudget, and the practical question is whether its ValueOfInformation exceeds its CostToProbe by enough to change the emitted ChoiceResult under the current ChoiceRule.

Show. If the extra calibration run could still change which plan survives, the one-day delay fits the remaining ProbeBudget, and the expected gain justifies its CostToProbe, the right ChoiceResult is probe again with that exact calibration run named. If the measurement can no longer overturn the ranking, the right ChoiceResult is choose now with the winning plan and the reason further probing is no longer worth its cost.

Show. A finished result here should therefore read like one decision record, not one research-theory aside: “Team-level chooser; three current plans; risk reduction preferred; calibration uncertainty still live; one extra calibration run remains feasible and could still overturn the current ranking; its expected gain justifies CostToProbe, including the one-day delay; ChoiceResult = probe again with calibration run.” Or, after that probe is no longer worth doing: “ChoiceResult = choose plan B now because the remaining calibration gain no longer justifies one more day of delay.”

Show. Use C.38 if the team must turn labels or fragments into complete ways of obtaining one result. Use C.39 if a plan still lacks an explanation of how to obtain that result, or C.40 if the team can vary a plan and needs to examine the difference. Use C.18 when the team needs a generation account or archive/front claim; C.19 for exploration policy over the plan pool; and C.24 for the run sheet and execution order after choice.
