| An examinable change before its future application is settled | C.40: examined material and a worthwhile continuation or stop. C.40.CD when problems and ways of answering them develop together. | A suggested application enters DOCA.2 or DOCA.3 as a lead or hypothesis. A local result can be useful without establishing demand, a development opportunity or a qualified future path. |
| One specialist premise | A.15.9 with the actual supplying practice: an existing qualified result, bounded new result, or exact unresolved gap. | Preserve subject, configuration, use, scope and window. The supplier keeps its Method and conclusion; requesting a result does not supply it. |
| Characteristic meaning or measurement | C.16 and the holder/domain measurement practice: defined characteristic, legitimate scale, method/model and attributed reading with uncertainty. | Use only for the stated subject and conditions. DOCA.1.CHR selects what changes this inquiry; it does not create cross-holder measurement equivalence. |
| Finite comparison | C.11.CRC and the applicable domain: comparison of actual S0, finite change and realizable S1 with complete oriented coordinates. | Include result, resources, affected-System/distributional and protected conditions, interactions, transition, reversibility, options and evidence limits. Missing coordinates withhold the stronger comparison. |
| Human demand, capability or development | HCD.1 for the requirements of later work, including a provisional account before that work begins; HCD.3 for causes of an observed difficulty; the relevant HCD and target-domain Methods for support, practice and transfer. | Same-holder and condition-compatible inputs matter. Audience assumptions and supported performance do not establish individual fit or unfamiliar/independent performance. |
| Human programme alternatives | HCD.2: a programme-comparison account, limited feasible candidate or precise blocked/design return. | Keep learner/provider burden, access, whole-task closure, displacement and uncertainty comparable. Programme advice and authorized choice remain separate. |
| Generic engagement, alternatives, comparison or recommendation | PSD.1 and PSD.8–PSD.13: the actual missing decision-support contribution and bounded recommendation disposition. | No compulsory workshop. Preserve the exact recipient/use and uncertainty; a recommended probe is not permission to perform it. |
| Advice follow-up | PSD.14: feasible observation, interpretation and affected recommendation return. | Distinguish earlier advice, actual choice, implementation and evidence. A missing necessary observation is not a favourable result. |
| Organization arrangement, direction or continuing operation | OCE, Strategy, Systems/Platform Engineering and OPS: their respective arrangement, authorized commitment/revision, realization and operating results. | An opportunity or recommendation cannot substitute for any of those results. Reuse a direct same-result arrangement comparison when it answers the whole question. |
| Guide realization | Learning Product practice, including LG.02, LG.03 and LG.05 for their actual questions: an instructional route/unit and learner-action result. | Begin realization from an authorized programme choice. The Guide supplies neither programme choice nor proof of learning, reduced load or transfer. |
| Professional service conditions | The applicable career, consulting or other professional practice: established competence, participation, confidentiality, conflict treatment, disclosure, referral and closure conditions. | Establish actual scope/adoption and local requirements. Codes and service forms do not establish personal competence, permission or a universal legal rule. |
| AI, engineered, cultural, research, legal, safety, security or financial premise | The actual subject practice: the named evaluation, relation, criterion, authority, constraint or evidence result. | Retain the exact object and receiving conditions. Missing or stale results produce a bounded request, narrower claim, blocker or abstention, not a cross-domain analogy. |
| Several uses affected by one changed source claim | A.10.1: needed bounded discovery, actual dependence and coverage, followed by the supported direct subject result or scoped gap. A sufficient direct return needs no additional common account. | A citation alone is not reliance; an inaccessible or uninspected receiver is not unaffected. For one known reliance use A.10 and the direct owner. |
| Source or guidance currentness | G.11 and the responsible source/framework maintainer: currentness, decay, scoped refresh and reporting. | A recent date or refresh completion does not create the new domain result, edition admission, access or effectiveness. |
