C.31.RSA:4.7 - Reopen and lowering conditions

An RSA result remains valid only inside its declared accounting basis, structure edition, source-return condition, and comparator admission. Reopen the triage or lower the admissible use when any of the following changes:

• a hidden source distinction becomes action-relevant;
• the accounting basis changes or proves heterogeneous;
• the selected structure, structural aspect, interface grammar, evidence package, work method, or assurance argument changes edition;
• a comparator set, CG-Spec, or outside-RSA use is added after a report-only share was recorded;
• downstream reliance uses the RSA result for outside-RSA evidence, assurance, gate, causal-use, scale-preference, or decision work that the RSA note did not admit;
• evidence validity, assurance window, or source-return condition decays;
• a local bounded exception becomes repeated enough to require refactoring;
• a reuse move improves one locus while worsening interface cost, variation loss, evidence decay, assurance work, source-return cost, or hidden bespoke residue.

Lower the result to report-only when outside-RSA comparison, ranking, selection, gate use, or decision use lacks comparator admission named by value. Lower it to quote-only or source cue when the accounting basis cannot be recovered. Mark it blocked when the reusable locus and bespoke-residue locus cannot be separated.
