KCAE.EVAL:1 - Problem frame

Use this when adopting, replacing or repairing an access arrangement requires evidence of its practical gain, or a failure needs attribution to the operation that can be repaired. A benchmark score, successful API call or convincing demonstration cannot answer every such question.

The gain is a bounded decision to adopt, retain, change or stop an arrangement on the evidence that can support it. Do not run a large study for a harmless reversible lookup whose adequacy is already inspectable. Scale the comparison to the consequence and uncertainty of the receiving choice.
