MDPE.5:2.4 - Test the riskiest relation in representative conditions

Use rehearsal, sound check, floor trial, costume run, camera test, network test, access walk-through, or another direct probe. Test the relation most likely to invalidate the intended use, not the easiest subsystem.

For example, test whether dancers can change direction safely at expected floor density, whether a performer can hear a timing cue at event volume, whether the audience can see the live coding rather than only projected output, or whether a recorded form preserves the rhythmic event used by a later learner.

The probe returns an observation and a production decision. It does not establish artistic value, audience recognition, or later cultural effect.
