MDPE.20:3.2 - Recover present practice without turning one trace into prevalence
Use only current results that can change the trajectories or decision. Possible inputs include:
- the bounded practice and project focus from
MDPE.8andMDPE.1; - live variants and alternatives from
MDPE.9andMDPE.16; - performer capability and context sensitivity from
MDPE.10; - observations from
MDPE.12; - recognition-and-selection arrangements from
MDPE.13; - practice-conflict decisions from
MDPE.14; - receiving enactment and transmission from
MDPE.17; - cultural memory and lineage evidence from
MDPE.18; - present continuation tests from
MDPE.19; and - support arrangements from
MDPE.22.
These are conditional inputs, not a lifecycle or mandatory checklist. A lineage story, archive count, enrolment figure, streaming trace, competition result, platform impression, press corpus, university syllabus, or expert estimate may be useful evidence for a named claim. None alone establishes enacted prevalence or continued reproduction.
When direct evidence is too costly or absent, use the best available expert estimate with its basis, uncertainty, and update condition. Do not demand an infeasible population study merely to avoid making a bounded decision.
