EXD.6:4.4 - Choose the result and its stopping condition

Relate the demonstrated or reasonably expected contribution to the burden that matters in this use. Retain the incumbent when the candidate adds no worthwhile result. Prefer a targeted repair when it supplies a missing relation or fixes a consequential difficulty. Return unsupported subject claims to their supplier.

Keep result types distinct. More recovered structure within one budget differs from less effort to recover the same structure. Immediate recovery differs from retention after a delay or transfer to another task. Agreement and willingness to act differ from understanding a recommendation.

State what is retained, why, under which conditions and what fact would reopen the choice. A larger explanation is useful only to the extent that its contribution serves the selected purpose.
