DTM.1:4.2 - Recover the enabling relation

Ask what contribution would be absent if the supporting participant or resource were unavailable. Describe the resulting loss and whether another available contribution could replace it. Distinguish dependence on one supplier from dependence on the kind of contribution.

For example, the practice may need an external solver, without needing this particular solver. Alternatively, its records may be readable only by the present service. These relations call for different continuations: obtaining a substitute, making the representation portable, changing the practice, or accepting the dependence for the intended work.

Use a model or a safe bounded comparison when withdrawal would disrupt real work. An unperformed counterfactual remains a hypothesis. Loss under withdrawal establishes dependence; it does not yet establish harm during supported use.
