ME.20:5.3 - An Assistant Recommends from Stale Facts

An assistant retrieves a relevant review pattern and recommends sending the candidate to the reviewer. Its recommendation uses yesterday’s access statement. The current question is whether that reviewer can inspect the restricted evidence today; the assistant has neither that access nor publication authority.

Keep the recommendation as a recommendation. Ask the access holder to refresh the decision-bearing fact. If access is unknown, the evidence-dependent review continuation is unknown; if access is denied, it is blocked. A permitted review of unrelated public claims may remain available if the same review Method allows that narrower result.

The deciding engineer uses A.15.7 for the next action, the access holder supplies the access answer, and the permitted reviewer performs any selected review. Confidence in retrieval supplies none of those relations. If no safe narrower review is available, stop at the missing access result. No performed review or publication follows merely from the recommendation.
