E.9.DA:9 - Consequences
| Consequence | Benefit | Cost |
| DRR adequacy becomes inspectable before drafting. | Pattern authors get decisions, not source summaries. | Ordinary review touches only the live questions; a complete reusable evaluation touches every coordinate once. |
| Architecture selection becomes visible. | By-value but wrong split or merge choices no longer pass as complete distribution. | Some DRRs need architecture repair before drafting. |
| Source mutation is explicit. | SoTA, standards, reviews, audits, and accepted decisions shape decisions rather than decorate them. | Rationale-only sources cannot raise values. |
| The effective floor and required use are reproducible. | Two evaluators can derive the same status without choosing an easier frame after seeing evidence. | The invoking use or E.9.DA default must be named, and every below-floor required coordinate remains noncompensatory. |
| One bounded search tests the DRR’s frame before coordinate closure. | A polished answer cannot hide an important question merely by omitting it from the DRR. | The evaluator must inspect problem, practice, sources, alternative, failure/recovery, and true consumers far enough to answer that one question. |
