C.17:13 - Consequences

Benefits. Teams can discuss novelty and value before building a metric stack; stronger results remain reproducible and comparable; trade-offs and incomparability stay visible; and generation, policy, choice, Work, evidence, and publication keep their own boundaries. No particular tool or rendering is required: an implementation is suitable when it preserves the declared configuration, result chain, evidence, and limits.

Costs. Quantified claims require a fixed corpus, explicit Scales and Methods, evidence, uncertainty, and edition discipline. Cross-source and cross-scale comparisons sometimes remain incomparable.

Limits. A C.17 result does not prove that a bearer is good, authorize Work, define universal novelty, supply a selection policy, or establish assurance. It makes the bounded claims and their dependencies inspectable.
