E.17.ID.CR:9 - Consequences
The middle band between a short F.9.1 stance note about an existing bounded-use claim and prompt-bearing abduction becomes reviewable rather than rhetorical.
Reviewers get a cleaner way to distinguish comparative interpretation from the first crossed claim that would make another governing pattern primary.
Authors pay a small extra declaration weight, but the gain is fewer hidden neighboring-pattern boundary mistakes and less comparison-unit instability.
Guided comparative review units become easier to prepare honestly because bounded use, overread risk, and world-contact limits can be declared without pretending that the unit already carries a broader guidance claim than it really does.
Users get a bounded way to keep comparative review units modest while the boundary trigger remains below the first crossed claim.
