E.9:9 - Consequences
| Benefits | Trade‑offs / Mitigations |
| Complete audit trail – every semantic normative change carries a structured “why”. | Adds deliberate friction; mitigated by CC‑DRR.5 (Δ‑0/Δ‑1 lightweight) and CC‑DRR.1a (pointer‑based DRRs). |
| Higher decision quality – Pillar, alternatives, scenario, and utility checks surface hidden conflicts early. | Authors must do more real content work up front; the gain is less downstream reinvention and less hidden deferral. |
| Institutional memory – prevents re‑litigation of rejected alternatives. | DRR archive grows; index stored in a non‑normative annex. |
| Executable downstream authoring - selected patterns and selected non-pattern FPF kind-reference pairs, outside-boundary, reusable-content decisions, selected-answer stability, and remaining validation evidence obligation are explicit enough for later drafting/landing without semantic invention. | Richer DRRs need discipline to avoid becoming shadow specs or process briefs; mitigated by CC-DRR.1b, CC-DRR.4a, CC-DRR.4b, CC-DRR.4c, and CC-DRR.4d. |
