DOCA.6:4.4 - Keep the set inspectable without forcing a winner

Preserve materially different candidates, including conditional directions and a useful baseline, when their retention reasons remain current. Keep a candidate ruled out for this use outside its live opportunity set, with enough explanation to avoid rediscovering the same defeated claim. Preserve other uses separately when their basis remains supported. A historical record can remain useful without being a live option.

Use a comparison only for the question it answers. A result about non-domination requires a declared comparator, complete relevant coordinates, and admissibility basis. A retained candidate need not be non-dominated now. Different contribution premises or horizons may support only a partial comparison; do not invent one scalar ranking to make the portfolio look settled.

Make resource interactions visible when retention itself competes for scarce attention, expertise, access, or maintenance. If the available retention allowance cannot support the set, return the needed allocation or reduction decision to its authorized owner. Meanwhile, describe only what the available maintenance actually supports. Do not silently make every member “available” by naming it in the portfolio.

Stop expanding the account when the next missing result belongs to a holder practice, an actual pool-treatment decision, or a local choice. The inquiry can return a useful partial set.
