DTM.5:4.1 - Decide what the next population counts

Name the earlier population, the receiving population and the interval or transition connecting them. Specify the continuing unit: an executed method variant, a learner retaining it, a transmitted procedure instance, or a collective with an identified successor relation.

A group can contribute many transmitted instances without producing a new group. Use the first kind of count for variant continuation and the second for collective reproduction. Survival, revenue or an externally assigned quality score does not automatically measure either.

C.36 supplies the cultural relations; DTM.1 identifies the variant and affected work. Return to DTM.2 if the available record shows only copies of descriptions while the claim concerns continued execution.
