MDPE.9:2.1 - Name the use and incumbent assumption
State the receiving use, intended performer, and decision. Examples include choosing material for an ensemble rehearsal, selecting movement relations for a social-dance exercise, deciding which human–AI interface deserves another prototype, or preserving branches for later choreography.
Then state the incumbent assumption in a form that another candidate can challenge. For example:
- denser doubling is needed to preserve harmonic identity;
- the visible figure carries the partnered timing;
- higher model fidelity gives a dancer more useful control;
- a symmetric duet rule is easier to perform and read;
- the most popular take is the best concert arrangement.
A genre label or request to “be more creative” is not a testable incumbent assumption.
