C.25:9 - Consequences
| Benefit | Trade-off / Mitigation |
| Category hygiene. Scope, measurement, mechanism, and status no longer collapse into one term. | Slightly heavier authoring structure; mitigation: only composite cases need a bundle, and immaterial optional slots remain absent. |
| Portable comparison. CHR measures compare legally, while scope remains governed by USM set algebra. | Authors must declare scales and scope explicitly. |
| Cleaner gating. Method/work guards can read the same structure without hidden semantics. | Requires discipline in separating guard factors. |
Better endpoint classification. C.16.Q can terminate in either one characteristic or one Q-Bundle with a clear endpoint pattern. | Requires a first-pass endpoint decision during authoring. |
