E.4.DPF.DA:9 - Consequences

The pattern adds one package-level evaluation on top of individual pattern checks. The cost is worthwhile when DPF packages become reusable across domains, enterprises, AI-agent prompt packs, teaching materials, or local practice frameworks.

It also prevents a common false choice. A DPF seed can be useful without pretending to be public-ready, and a public-ready package can remain domain-bounded without pretending to be FPF Core. D12 adds one field-coverage judgement and PFM12 one incremental publication-form check. Neither starts a second evaluation pass, copies another Method’s steps, or charges a PFM1 observation twice.
