HCD.4:4 - Solution
Build the profile as a set of evidence-bound claim rows across simultaneous representative Work. Compare current and target dispositions without imposing a source sequence, expose trade-offs, and close only the decision that the current evidence and authority support.
HCD.4:4.1 - Bind the Profile Use
Name:
- the exact human holder and holder participation basis;
- the HCD.1 demand account or equivalent qualified scope, including later-Work family, configuration, conditions, effective horizon, evidence window, and receiving decision;
- the named profile decision owner and every direct owner whose authority or result remains external;
- the representative cases and simultaneous contribution interfaces that can change the comparison; and
- the protected consequences, critical errors, privacy or worker-governance conditions, and stop boundaries.
If the same-holder scope cannot be recovered, return profile-decision-blocked for the missing demand frame. Do not substitute a role profile, population average, course map, or imagined future person.
HCD.4:4.2 - Build Claim Rows
For each selected capability claim, record:
| Claim field | Required content |
|---|---|
| contribution and interface | What the human contribution supports in representative later Work and which simultaneous contributions, tools, or specialist returns it interfaces with. |
| current disposition | Current evidence, conditions, support dependence, date, uncertainty, and any critical-error observation; unsupported is preferable to an invented level. |
| target disposition | The contribution and result boundary demanded by representative later Work, with its source and horizon. |
| intermediate disposition | The intermediate contribution, result boundary, and conditions, only when they help this decision. Keep a proposed next action separate from the state description. A threshold may define an intended result boundary, but a claim that it was reached needs observations. |
| discriminating evidence | Representative task, observation, work product, inference rule, and protected consequence that distinguish the claim. |
| trade-off and conflict | What time, workload, autonomy, support, evidence burden, or other claim could be harmed by prioritizing this one. |
| next change point | The nearest observation, source return, owner decision, or condition that can change the row. |
Use an aggregate only when the receiving decision does not need any claim identity, asymmetry, critical-error status, support dependence, or uncertainty that the aggregate removes. Keep the underlying rows available whenever an aggregate is used.
HCD.4:4.3 - Compare Without Inventing Order
Apply C.32.MWA’s guard against layout substitution. A course sequence, Method hierarchy, Work order, organization chart, or platform dashboard may be a source structure; none is the profile architecture merely because its rows line up with capability names.
Ask which contributions are simultaneous, which interfaces constrain each other, which supported claims must be preserved, which gaps are limiting, and where a local gain moves burden or risk. State the current profile, target profile, difference, priority characteristics, explicit trade-offs, and the recommendation or unresolved question before making a choice.
HCD.4:4.4 - Make a Bounded Choice Under C.11
When a bounded choice is requested, obtain the inputs and conditions required by C.11:
C.11 input or condition | HCD.4 use |
|---|---|
DecisionSubject and DecisionSubjectGranularity | The actual chooser and chooser-bearing level. Do not default to generic Agent; route unresolved agency to A.13. |
OptionSet | Concrete options already on the table. HCD.4 does not generate a missing programme alternative. |
PreferenceOrder or EvaluativeMeasure | The explicit comparison basis, including protected claims and unacceptable critical errors. |
BeliefState | Current uncertainty, evidence limits, and live rivals shared across the options. |
OutcomeModel | How the options and uncertainty map to the consequences that matter for this choice. |
| dependence layer | Evidential by default; causal, counterfactual, subjunctive, or other heavier dependence requires its own current support. |
ChoiceRule | The condition under which choose now, reject current set, probe again, or reroute is lawful. |
| probe-worthiness | When inquiry is live under C.11—through a current proposal, consequential uncertainty or an applicable requirement that could change the choice or warranted use—obtain the relevant ProbeActionSet, ProbeBudget, CostToProbe, and value of information or computation. Otherwise these fields do not apply to finishing the supported choice. |
| governance | Holder participation and the chooser’s applicable authority; authorization, commitment, and later execution remain separate. |
If a required input, condition, or necessary current/target evidence is absent, keep the profile comparison and recommendation if they are supported, then return profile-decision-blocked with the missing value, blocked choice, safe boundary, and retry condition.
With the required inputs and conditions established, the chooser applies the explicit ChoiceRule to the current comparison basis, dependence layer and any applicable inquiry values. Emit a ChoiceResult with the lawful disposition, its reason and the next question specified by C.11. The decision record documents this application, the inputs used and the emitted result.
Finish an already supported choice without creating a study, empty probe fields or a separate justification for omitting inquiry. Keep the profile, actual choice grounds and any short reason or limitation needed by this decision or a later recipient in that same result. A live feasible probe can still be selected when its attainable contribution justifies its whole burden. An evidence limit remains a limit when acquisition is not selected.
HCD.4:4.5 - Recognition and Assurance
Recognition. Use HCD.4 when a conversation contains “well-rounded,” “level up,” “mastery score,” “skills matrix,” “promotion profile,” or a course pathway, while the actual decision depends on several different contributions to later Work.
Assurance. Stronger reliance requires holder- and condition-compatible task evidence for each decision-bearing claim; explicit current, target, and uncertainty positions; preservation of critical-error and support-dependence boundaries; an inspectable trade-off account; and, for a choice, all required current C.11 inputs and conditions, application of the rule, and an inspectable result. High-stakes employment, clinical, safety, legal, or release uses need their direct owner and assurance in addition to this profile.
HCD.4:4.6 - What Changes in Practice
A practitioner stops asking, “What level is this person?” and asks, “Which contributions are supported under which conditions, which must be preserved, which gap matters across simultaneous Work, and what uncertainty could still reverse the decision?” The profile returns a useful comparison even when no choice is yet lawful.
