DOCA.4:4.2 - Turn a label into a complete contribution

For every serious proposal, explain what the subject or supported arrangement could contribute in the receiving situation. State the recognizable situation, useful move, first result, and stop or non-use boundary. Include the support and substantive conditions that change how the contribution is obtained.

When a pattern is the proposed address, cite its complete current body and recover the action-bearing contribution from it. Do not substitute its title, PatternID, a summary card, or a list of topics for that contribution. Keep the body’s relevant applicability, assurance, and stopping conditions; the direction need not copy the entire source.

If the receiving claim depends on a Method or MethodDescription, preserve its established relation under A.3.1 and A.3.2. A pattern is a MethodDescription only when it describes an already admitted Method as its EntityOfConcern. Otherwise use its content as pattern guidance and leave that stronger relation unasserted. In neither case does reading or publishing the description establish the subject’s capability.

For a person, connect the contribution to representative later Work. “Use A.15.9 to formulate and rely on a bounded outside-practice result in evidence review” can specify a contribution; “finish A.15.9” cannot specify capability or transfer. Current HCD and the relevant domain practice supply those results.
