ME.2:0 - Use This When

Use this pattern when a one-Method, plurality, or Method-relation focus needs alternatives, variants, evidence, and provenance that another practitioner can inspect and reuse. Typical uses include comparing several Methods, forming a project proposal, locating a variant, or checking whether a familiar source contribution still supports the current question.

Begin with the named comparison or proposal use, the focus result or equivalent subject statement, and the practical result the project needs. Search primary Method Engineering sources and sources from the practice that owns that result. Keep exact editions and status visible while assembling the smallest repertoire that can support the use.

The first useful result is a set of status-preserving entries with claim-bearing source material, supported relations, evidence limits, currentness, and explicit missing positions. An honest gap is part of the repertoire when it changes comparison or proposal work.

Do not treat a bibliography, repository, package outline, observed Work, or list of popular names as a Method repertoire by itself. Co-listing supplies neither Method identity nor an established family, and documented lineage supplies neither superiority, causation, composition, nor present applicability.
