C.37:5.3 - One decision now and a later reader’s need
In section 5.1, the engineer completes the current comparison using the three independently qualified inputs and the stated budget facts. The direct receiving result and material limits are already clear: the description supplies proposed order, the plan supplies intent rather than performed Work, and the earlier record supplies only its comparability-limited observation. If no later use needs another account of this comparison, the answer is complete without a standalone C.37 record. Required source and receiving-result evidence remain under their own governors.
Now suppose a later trial reviewer must reconstruct why those particular inputs were usable for WP4. That use needs the exact claims, source and reliance boundaries, losses, dispositions and receiving result—not merely “MC7 selected.” Retain the complete basis in the existing same-use decision account if it can carry it, otherwise in one identifiable account. A new receiving decision still requires its own use-bounded selection; the retained earlier basis is not authority for the new action.
