HCD.3:9 - Consequences

A development decision can focus on one evidence-supported target instead of a generic deficit, or stop early when the real constraint belongs to another owner. Rival explanations and governance remain visible, reducing unnecessary practice, unsafe probing, and employment overreach.

The cost is disciplined observation. Some cases remain unresolved, and a narrow target may reopen when prompt, tool, task, support, evidence, or specialist information changes. Using a qualified target to design development still requires a separate intervention choice. A claim that the intervention worked through this target requires later target-engagement and result evidence.
