The three optional specialist refs are included only when an existing target-trial mapping, off-policy evaluation, or causal-variable representation result shows what additional evidence could change the support boundary. Before execution, cite a MethodDescription or WorkPlan only when used. After execution, cite every precise performer’s A.13 core and the independent A.15.1 Work admission; cite F.6 only when precise assignment-bound attribution is also current. If performed counterfactual sampling is used as evidence, also cite the resulting sample or data through evidencePathRefs; Work without output data and data without its Work and provenance path each remain incomplete for that claim. Do not copy performer-kind, assignment, or occurrence mechanics into this record unless one of those facts changes causal validity, safety, authorization, or supported use.

Additional evidence is worth planning only when it can change a material causal statement or downstream decision enough to justify cost, risk, and delay, or when safety or release rules independently require it.
