HCD.3:10 - Rationale

The smallest decision-changing target is more useful than a complete causal story. It is sufficient to change the next development question while avoiding claims about hidden mechanisms that the evidence cannot support. Recording the considered explanations, any still-plausible alternatives, evidence limits, and reopen conditions prevents “qualified” from becoming “certain.”

The non-training return is a positive result because it prevents misdirected Work and tells the receiving owner exactly what is needed. The specialist boundary is not a residual exception: clinical, safety, legal, target-domain, assignment, and employment questions retain their own authority even when human development is also relevant.
