FDM.Preface:7 - Using the connected account correctly

For a connected use, establish that the parties, positions, terms and times agree where the models join; that a conditional event remains conditional; and that the evidence supports the particular use or effect being asserted. Use the relevant pattern’s substantive questions for its result. An adequate supplied result can be reused while its conditions hold.

The examples expose three consequential mistakes: an amount field substituted for its financial meaning, a group aggregate substituted for available resources and a service output substituted for the participant’s outcome. Recover the missing relation rather than adding another label. When only one such question is unresolved, the other adequate accounts remain usable.
