MDPE.8:2.5 - Keep live alternatives and uncertainty visible
Do not let the first plausible formulation erase a competing subject or explanation that would change the next Work. State at least two live alternatives when more than one survives. When the project cannot yet form alternatives, state the material uncertainty—for example, individual capability versus partnered coordination, a changed artifact versus a changed Method, or local recurrence versus wider recognition—and the smallest observation that can resolve it. Alternatives that answer different decisions remain separate questions.
