HCD.1:0.1 - Working Terms

Name in this patternWhat it denotes
human holderOne identified human person whose capability demand is being considered. A role, cohort, roster, demographic category, or population is not that person.
later WorkA named family of future or recurring U.Work occurrences in which that person may contribute under stated conditions.
representative caseA case selected to examine a material variant of later Work, such as unfamiliar content, changed support, or a specialist interface. Its suitability depends on the conditions it represents and the conclusion for which it is used.
human capability demandThe contributions this person needs to be able to make under the named later-Work conditions. A demand account records those requirements; it does not establish the person’s current capability.
demand claimA statement that this person needs to be able to make a specified contribution under the named later-Work conditions, with the evidence for that requirement, uncertainty, and limits.
prospective demand hypothesisA provisional account of future demand grounded in a supported future-Work frame. It states which demand claims remain provisional and which observations could qualify or revise them.
demand-evidence-blockedA result that names each missing input, the conclusion it blocks, and the condition for retry. It also distinguishes available material from the missing input when that material could mislead the receiver.
outside-HCD returnA return of the current question and available evidence to the direct clinical, target-domain, authority, organization, assignment, access, tool, or other owner.

The account records what later Work requires of the person. Evidence about present capability, causes, learning, or intervention effectiveness answers different questions and uses its own pattern.
