E.17.ID.CR:4.3 - Working-model first; plain questions first, ordinary minimum second, full declaration third

Most working users do not have to start with a long declaration block. This pattern therefore follows E.14’s working-model-first discipline: the first usable block is a small set of plain questions that helps an engineer-manager keep the review unit bounded to the work it can honestly carry. The ordinary minimum block comes next for ordinary use: it lets the reader turn the working comparison into the seven-row card before touching the fuller declaration block. The fuller declaration block remains available as a reviewable declaration extension that carries source, boundary, and downstream-claim fields by value. If a real assurance or B.3 threshold is current, cite the separately constituted B.3 claim or record; do not turn this declaration extension into that assurance record.
