ME.24:4.3 - State the reconstruction result

Use the smallest accurate disposition:

ResultPractical consequence
The contribution is recovered within the named scope.Retain that bounded coverage claim and its source conditions.
A warranted specialization preserves the source contribution under narrower conditions.State the narrower use and what broader use is not supplied.
Instructional or source-local detail is deliberately omitted but recoverable.Give the source return; do not promise a self-contained use that depends on the omitted detail.
An action, condition, relation, source qualification or return is missing.Name the failed promise and the smallest content or relation repair.
The language contradicts the supported source or merges incompatible claims.Return the contradicted claim or allocation to ME.12 or ME.21.
The basis is unavailable or too weak for the required reconstruction.Keep the question unresolved, retain the usable remainder and name the missing source action.

These are ordinary result descriptions, not a universal status taxonomy. An omission becomes a defect when it blocks a promised use; an irrelevant source detail does not have to become a pattern.

A positive reconstruction concerns the inspected claim and use. It does not establish Method identity, effectiveness, transfer or complete coverage of an uninspected corpus.
