HCD.16:4.6 - Return the supported slice and any selected change
State the supported current use, narrowed claim, unresolved comparison or real protection stop for the exact HCD repertoire use. For a justified change or selected inquiry, use the following dispositions:
| Disposition | Meaning here | Limit |
|---|---|---|
adopt | Include an already admitted Method for the named HCD use under the supported conditions. | Does not admit the Method, select it for one person, authorize Work, or establish effect. |
revise | Change the exact HCD claim, evidence condition, population scope, support condition, or use statement while preserving Method status. | A semantic Method change returns to ME.15; a text edit alone is not the result. |
branch | Keep distinct, evidence-bearing use conditions or populations whose dispositions differ. | Does not create a Method variant or inherit admission for a candidate. |
retire | Stop offering the Method or claim for this bounded HCD use. | Does not erase the Method, source history, candidate account, or other supported uses. |
further probe | Select one feasible, worthwhile observation for the named decision while preserving status and uncertainty. | Selection is not the obtained result. The probe has full burden, access, protection, stop and response conditions; an unavailable later observation withholds only its dependent claim. |
Keep the actual grounds, serious alternatives, uncertainty and change conditions needed by the receiving use in the same repertoire slice. An unresolved comparison is a truthful result when no change or new inquiry is warranted; preserve any independently supported use. Add a probe description only for a selected inquiry. When different claims need different outcomes, keep them separate rather than averaging them into one Method score.
