CB.10:4.7 - Return the result and keep the learning loop useful

Return what was learned to those who supplied the experience and those who can act. Explain the supported benefit or failure, the limit on the conclusion and the next change. Use the detail needed by each receiver while preserving consequential uncertainty and permission for reuse.

Let participants use the account to improve their own practice. A failed application can become a correction to shared guidance; a successful adaptation can become a candidate for another context. CB.14 and ME qualify any wider method claim. A sponsor’s summary can draw on that same grounded account without replacing it with an unsupported impact total.

Choose a next observation only when the question remains live. Follow an unfinished story when application becomes possible, or check the result of the chosen repair. Stop or simplify collection when it no longer affects decisions or learning. Preserve meaningful longitudinal comparisons when they are still used.
