I.2.4 - Admissible comparison, candidate-pool policy, selection, and selected-set declaration or publication

  • Case signal: “We need a shortlist, not one winner.”

  • Initial uncertainty: the live entry load can be comparison substrate, candidate-pool policy, one local choice, call planning, or selected-set declaration or publication.

  • Plausible candidate patterns: A.19.CN, A.17-A.19, C.18, C.19, G.0, G.5.

  • Nearby patterns: C.11 if the entry load narrows to one local decision doctrine; C.24 after the action or option is fixed and a call plan or checkpoint return is needed; A.19.CPM and A.19.SelectorMechanism if comparator/selector structure is live.

  • Tempting wrong pattern: treat C.11 as the first governing pattern while the real entry load is candidate-pool policy, selector-facing set declaration, or publication.

  • Disambiguating fact: the current question concerns a governed set or shortlist, its selector-facing declaration, or its publication, rather than choosing one single winner.

  • Decision movement: for generation and archive/front stewardship while forming the pool, inspect C.18; for policy over still-live candidates, inspect C.19; to declare the selector-facing set result, inspect G.5; to make that declared result available, inspect E.24.PUB; for one local choice, inspect C.11; after the action or option is fixed, inspect C.24 if tool or service call planning is missing, including calls for an already chosen comparison.

  • Actual governing FPF pattern body or projection role: C.18 for generation and archive/front stewardship; C.19 for live-pool policy; G.5 for selector-facing set declaration; E.24.PUB for publication availability; C.11 for local choice; C.24 for call-planning/checkpoint-return after the action or option is fixed.

  • Admissible entry stop: the correct first governing pattern is opened, or an admissible candidate-pattern set is stabilised without implying sequence.

  • What not to infer: do not force a one-winner answer when the honest output is still a governed selected set.
