C.38:2 - Problem

Common option labels name unlike things. Buy may name a purchase relation, provider a continuing arrangement, internal a performer location, reuse an already available System, AI one possible Agent, and build many kinds of Work. Two labels can describe the same whole way, while two offers carrying the same label can differ in integration, custody, support, evidence, capability, and exit enough to reverse the choice.

The error is not merely missing detail. If candidate rows seek different results, use different acceptance bases, or silently switch situations and horizons, no amount of scoring restores comparability. If possible-future rows are written as facts, capability, authority, Work, provision, delivery, acceptance, and availability are asserted without their direct support.

The needed move is to fix one result question, construct complete-enough materially different ways on one parity basis, keep premise modality visible, and freeze only truthful candidates for choice. It is smaller than a procurement or architecture programme and more complete than a make-or-buy label table.
