MDPE.17:7 - Consequences
| Benefit | Cost or caution |
| Delivery is replaced by evidence of receiving Work. | Representative tests cost more than checking attendance or file transfer. |
| Useful transformations survive instead of being rejected as imperfect copies. | Variant identity and limits must be maintained. |
| Context-bound performance is distinguished from transfer and retention. | More than one condition or time point may be needed. |
| Source use and source contribution remain distinct and evidence-bounded. | A causal comparison can be expensive or unnecessary for the local decision. |
| Human, robotic, AI, ensemble, and hybrid cases share one result boundary. | Their direct learning, control, safety, and capability-development Methods can differ sharply. |
