DTM.7:4 - Solution

Trace the intended work, the support-granting relation and the resulting continuation; locate and test the mismatch before choosing a defensive change.

DTM.7:4.1 - Recover the intended result and affected parties

Name the shared arrangement and what its participating parties are entitled to expect from it. Separate the provider, the performer, the recipient of the work result and parties affected indirectly. A.6.P.RI helps restore the standpoint of each claim.

Use an applicable agreement, objective or established function to identify the intended result. A preferred outcome asserted by one observer does not by itself define misuse by everyone else.

DTM.1 supplies the consequences and dependence account. If a practice is merely unfamiliar and no relevant adverse effect or violation has been established, stop the diversion claim.

DTM.7:4.2 - Follow one grant of support

Recover the relation in ordinary terms:

observed signal → recognition or decision
                → granted operation or resource
                → work actually performed
                → result for the named parties.

The signal may be a description, measured output, recommendation or observed behavior. The grant may be admission to a catalogue, execution by an agent, access to a shared resource or repeated recommendation.

For each arrow, ask what makes it operate. Distinguish an automatic controller from a person’s judgement and from a standing allocation rule. C.30.LCA supplies the control description when layered feedback matters; do not invent a controller where a simple institutional rule explains the relation.

DTM.7:4.3 - Locate the mismatch and the continuation feedback

Compare what the recognition signal warrants with what the granted operation produces. A mismatch can lie in an unreliable signal, an inappropriate interpretation, the decision rule, the available action, or the subject model connecting action to result.

Ask why the signal and result have separated. Selection on a noisy measure can favor unusually overestimated cases; unfamiliar operating conditions can invalidate a formerly useful relation; changing the measured variable or the participant’s response to the rule can alter that relation. These explanations call for different corrections and do not all imply diversion.

Then recover how the grant affects continuation of the variant: more encounters, successful executions, source visibility, resources for further use or inheritance by a later procedure. DTM.2/.3 construct that continuation relation.

Keep three possibilities separate:

  • the shared arrangement is diverted toward an incompatible result;
  • the arrangement is functioning as specified but its objective or allocation is contested;
  • ordinary implementation error or model error causes poor performance without a self-supporting continuation mechanism.

Only the first warrants the diversion account as stated. The others can still require action through their own methods.

DTM.7:4.4 - Compare a causal change with a serious alternative

Choose a feasible comparison that changes the suspected relation while preserving enough of the work to interpret the result. Examples include checking the work result independently of the familiar description or testing whether recommendations still differ when subject performance is comparable.

Observe the activity in conditions where the signal actually governs support, and check the work result independently. If a separate test removes the relevant incentive or opportunity, good performance there does not by itself establish that the ordinary support relation is sound. Retain that difference in the comparison instead of inferring a permanent disposition of the agent.

The comparison must not assume the distinction it is meant to establish. If the only reason a method is labeled unreliable is that it is unfamiliar, filtering that label cannot validate the diagnosis.

Consider an alternative such as unequal resources, unsuitable tasks, changed operating conditions or a conflict over the intended objective. Use MMP.16 and the subject research method to distinguish it. A single sequence of events can locate a hypothesis without confirming its cause.

DTM.7:4.5 - Design the smallest consequential correction

Once the relation is supported, consider changing the signal, its interpretation, the grant rule, the available operation or feedback from the actual result. Recover the required authority and practical means separately.

DTM.8 compares these actions with reducing consequences or restoring the function. DTM.9 examines their costs, false restrictions and feedback on other variants. Test whether the correction still admits legitimate use and whether another route would reproduce the same mismatch.

Return the mechanism and conditions, not a permanent classification of an agent as a parasite. Evidence of deliberate manipulation may matter to the receiving practice, but is not needed to model an unintentional diversion and cannot be inferred from benefit alone.
