ME.13:5 - Archetypal Grounding - SSFD Situation Boundaries

The SSFD workplace evidence supplies varied actual-project reports and a decision-relevant unlike-situation probe. Project 11 concerns functional analysis of a new by-wire steering system and reports 48 failure modes, 44 requirements and design rules, 44 individual-system test cases, and 33 overall-system requirements and test cases. Project 32 reports difficulty representing the relation between a closed-loop sensor and controller.

Use Project 11 as a source situation only after the SSFD Method or candidate status, relevant Work evidence, performer and capability facts, support conditions, and relied-on claim are recovered. Use Project 32 as a discriminating unlike situation because the closed-loop relation can challenge a representation or applicability claim. Do not infer that Project 11 caused or preceded Project 32, that the same performers and capabilities were present, or that a difficulty establishes whole-Method failure.

A defensible result may be narrow: Project 11 supplies bounded evidence for one functional-analysis situation; Project 32 defeats or leaves unsupported a broader representation claim until the owner-specific ME.12 correction and receiving Work basis are recovered. The 41-report set broadens the evidence pool but does not establish transfer across every project stratum or causal contribution by SSFD alone.

ME.13:5.1 - Unlike-Domain and Current-Alternative Probes

The Digital Vaccine action-research case supplies performed validation actions in an operating health-services ecosystem and three plan-perform-evaluate cycles. Use it to replay the ME.13 architecture in another domain, not to claim that SSFD transfers to health services. Its evaluation is ex ante and case-specific.

The sustainable-design workshops supply bounded applications of The Natural Step, Whole System Mapping, and Biomimicry across consumer electronics, furniture, and clothing. They can expose industry and activity differences, but immediate participant self-reports do not establish long-term transfer. The Halogen case shows that practitioner skill, project demands, and organization can accompany cyclic Method adaptation; if reusable semantics changed, route the result to ME.15 instead of expanding one fit claim.

ME.13:5.2 - APP-ME-01 Early Stop

C-EC-Release-v2 remains a candidate account. The three support-use Work occurrences from ME.10 do not perform a release and cannot support release fit or transfer. Before any such result, recover one actual release Work occurrence, its performers, separately admitted enacted constituent Methods, capability inputs, Systems, Agent-performed Work, direct relations, support conditions, domain result, burdens, deviations, authority facts, and a performed held-out release situation.

Until then return missing-performed-work and missing-held-out-situation. Preserve the candidate branch and the unsupported CUR-EC417-CadenceEffect-1; no cadence or transfer claim becomes supported by planning three releases.
