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.
