DOCA.1.CHR:4.5 - Return characteristic meaning and evidence to direct owners
Use the practice that owns the substantive characteristic:
- human capability and representative later-Work evidence remain with current HCD and capability patterns;
- organization contribution, positions, assignments, arrangements, culture, and change remain with current organization and strategy practices;
- AI/model evaluation, data, safety, security, oversight, and deployment claims remain with their direct engineering and governance owners;
- service, flow, reliability, safety, and operability remain with operations, engineering, safety, and domain practices as applicable;
- architecture characteristics use
C.32.ACSorC.32.ACEonly when architecture is the bearer; - measurement meaning and work use
C.16; and - evidence reliance, provenance, and currentness use their direct FPF owners.
Record an available MethodDescription as a way a result might be obtained, not as the result. Mark a source-qualified unknown when measurement, access, or currentness is insufficient.
When a reading was established for a different bearer or configuration, rely on it only when the direct practice that owns the receiving characteristic supplies a qualified transfer basis covering the receiving bearer and configuration, characteristic meaning, scale, intended use, evidence window, and uncertainty. Without that basis, keep the receiving reading unknown and limit the affected opportunity claim. This can finish a useful characterization. Use A.15.9 and C.11.DUA to select an evidence request only when its obtainable contribution warrants formulation, qualification, supplier Work, delivery, interpretation, delay, and displaced work.
