HCD.Preface:3 - Human demand, capability evidence, development revision and transformation remain distinct

HCD.1 derives what a human holder must contribute in later Work. It does not establish the holder’s current capability. HCD.3 identifies a supported limiting target or returns the question elsewhere. It does not select an intervention. HCD.4 compares current and target claim rows and may support one bounded choice. It does not create a programme, learning trajectory, performed development Work, or transformation.

HCD.2 composes and compares feasible programme candidates for one person’s later Work, including complete contributions, burdens, support dependence and evidence needs; it does not choose or launch a programme. When no particular person is yet known, it returns the learning-product question to HCD.28. HCD.28 supplies conditional variants, not a diagnosis or programme assignment for each future member. HCD.5 selects a development Method for a qualified target and starting attempt, or proposes conditional Methods with entry evidence for a future audience. Neither result is an effectiveness finding. HCD.6 designs a sufficiently whole, criterion-bearing practice task without treating surface realism as representation. Its nested HCD.6.1 helps a learner discern a needed difference, use it and separate it from an incidental cue. That preparatory teaching operation returns to whole-task use and preserves the difference between recognition and performance.

HCD.7 establishes the provider, access, source, tool, AI, environment, human-check, capacity and fallback contributions required by a bounded use. HCD.8 compares obtaining an exact missing contribution with building it, follows only the first blocking dependency, and requires an operating test. HCD.9 preserves the first attempt, actual help, information-bearing feedback, learner correction, targeted retry and next focus. HCD.10 selects variation, spacing, retrieval, source, interleaving, support and challenge conditions separately across episodes.

HCD.11 returns observations and a bounded capability inference. HCD.12 tests a material unfamiliar variation. HCD.13 compares delayed performance and support conditions. HCD.14 uses an affected observation to revise a development assumption. A correct first attempt, a correction after feedback, learning from a newly supplied source, delayed performance, transfer, retention and a causal development effect are separately reportable.

HCD.15 configures a continuing arrangement that reopens from material Work or evidence changes; it is not a calendar, performed development Work or achieved capability. HCD.16 returns the strongest supported bounded use, narrowed claim, unresolved comparison or real protection stop for an exact admitted Method or status-preserved candidate and human-development claim. A selected change or probe needs an obtainable contribution worth the complete learner/provider burden; the result neither admits nor universally retires a Method. HCD.17 returns a supported current cultural account and continuation decision, or selects a worthwhile attainable inquiry. It preserves the testable predicate, actual subjects, scope, evidence, and needed authority; a school, standard, carrier, event or community label is not the culture.

Distinguish instructional events, learner activity, learning outcomes, later transfer, and job performance, and use corresponding evidence for claims about each. A MethodDescription, course completion, self-report, platform prediction, assisted score, published schedule or reserved provider hours can inform a bounded question. A capability, transfer, retention or effect claim needs a justified inference from appropriate observations.
