CB.10:3 - Forces
| Force | Decision it changes |
| Visible activity and value elsewhere | Easy counts help locate work but can miss later independent use. |
| Participants’ meanings and comparable observations | An account must retain what matters to people while supporting the comparison needed for the decision. |
| A convincing story and a warranted contribution claim | A detailed sequence can make a contribution plausible without identifying its causal effect. |
| Learning and accountability | Supporters need an account, while excessive reporting can consume the participation being supported. |
| Positive use and missing voices | Available successes can conceal non-use, harm, burden or people who could not enter. |
| Stable observation and newly discovered value | A consistent indicator supports comparison; an unexpected use may require a different question. |
