HCD.7:0.1 - Working Terms
| Name in this pattern | What it denotes |
|---|---|
| required development contribution | One result or action that the selected programme, Method, or practice needs from a learner, teacher, assessor, specialist, peer, source, tool, AI system, environment, or organization. |
| provider function | The bounded contribution to be supplied, such as explaining, preparing a case, giving actionable feedback, checking a critical error, assessing independently, maintaining access, or supplying a specialist result. A role title does not define the function. |
| provider | The identified person, group, organization, service, tool, source, or other System relied upon for a stated contribution under stated conditions. Different contributions may have different providers. |
| access condition | A permission, credential, data boundary, physical or digital route, timing, environment, interface, or participation condition needed to obtain a contribution. |
| capacity window | The amount and timing of provider attention or system availability that can serve the required work, including concurrency and peak demand. A total can fit while a critical window fails. |
| human-check contribution | The human judgement, verification, explanation, authorization, or accountability that remains necessary when AI or another tool assists. It has its own competence and workload. |
| fallback | A separately feasible way to preserve the required result or return safely when the preferred provider, tool, data, or timing becomes unavailable. |
| enabled development arrangement | The contribution allocation plus established providers, access, capacity, constraints, checks, fallback, and evidence sufficient to begin the bounded development use. It does not establish that the use occurred or succeeded. |
Intended help in a programme, help permitted by a practice task, help actually available, and help received in an attempt are different facts. HCD.7 establishes actual availability; HCD.9 and HCD.11 preserve what was received and what the resulting attempt can support.
