E.21:4.5 - Status and stop condition

StatusMeaning
admissibleForDeclaredUseEvery coordinate meets the declared floor for the scoped use, and the result states the usable next action, stop or repair, and reopen condition.
repairBeforeUseOne or more coordinate floors fail for the declared use.
holdForArchitectureDecisionRepair requires a decision about EntityOfConcern, the scope of contributing pattern content, split, merge, or placement.
refreshNeededA SoTA, neighbour, terminology, retrieval, telemetry, use-scope, or corpus change invalidates a previous evaluation.

Default floor is 4 wellExpressedForDeclaredUse on every coordinate for ordinary practitioner use, authoring-input use, landing-input use, Stable, external-review-ready, release-input, canonization-input, stop-improving claims, and ordinary improvement-loop use. Every result presented as an E.21 result contains every coordinate and its rationale, including a diagnostic or exploratory E.21 result. A bounded diagnostic may borrow selected E.21 questions; it reports only their findings and makes neither an E.21-result nor an admissible-use claim. If the current request asks for corpus-facing, landing-input, Stable, release, or external-review use, the evaluator measures that required use and returns repairBeforeUse, holdForArchitectureDecision, or refreshNeeded when the floor is missed.

An all-5 result is a local exceptional result under the declared scope and qualification window. It is not a permanent end of development. E.23 can reopen improvement when use, source, comparison set, front, affordability, or payoff changes.
