E.17.ID.CR:4.1 - Ordinary comparative review-unit move

Make one bounded comparison unit over already available source epistemes or source publications. Pin the reviewed sources, state the shared review frame, keep the compared alternatives visible, write the bounded comparative lift, name the downstream claim or effect that remains blocked, and give the boundary trigger that would move the case to another governing pattern.

In plain working terms, this pattern is for a review unit that says something like:

  • this option write-up foregrounds integration pressure more than that one;
  • these two available source epistemes or source publications are useful together, but they are not yet equivalent;
  • this dashboard view helps triage one contrastive question, but it is not yet a release decision or a root-cause claim;
  • this research synthesis foregrounds uncertainty more than that one, but it is not yet a method choice;
  • this program brief foregrounds continuity risk more than that one, but it is not yet a funding decision.

If that sounds like the review unit you need, keep the comparison unit bounded by the seven-row card. If the first move is no longer bounded comparison over pinned sources, name the crossed claim and let its governing pattern carry that claim before this unit is used.
