MDPE.6:7 - Consequences

Benefit	Cost or caution
Shared labels no longer decide receiving use.	The team must identify the actual bearer, relation, and changed condition.
Useful source and receiving alternatives can both survive through branching.	Branches add maintenance, description, teaching, and comparison cost.
Direct Methods continue to guide adaptation, engineering, and teaching Work.	Use `MDPE.6` only when the direct Method has not already returned the receiving-use decision needed under the changed conditions.
One affordable probe can prevent a costly wrong choice.	Not every uncertainty deserves more Work.
Local use can be decided without inventing lineage or cultural success.	Historical and cultural questions remain open and may require later work.
