FDM.5:4.2 - Locate the output and its actual receiver

Identify the service output and who uses it. Separate the method, its implementation, one performed use and the produced result where their differences affect the account. A score is one output of a scoring arrangement; it is not the arrangement itself.

Ask the receiving participant how the output enters their work. A human or an authorized automated arrangement can use it. There is no mandatory intermediate change in a human’s private expectation. Conversely, delivering data to an application does not establish that it influenced the relevant action.

A supplier can properly deliver information to another actor. Give that supplier’s contribution its actual scope instead of redefining every upstream tool as if it directly provided the final financial outcome.
