ME.5:4.1 - Pattern-Use Unfolding

  1. State the subject and status. Name the identified Method or candidate account and cite the identity or account basis already available. Reject unlike support facts as qualification subjects.
  2. Bind the use. State the receiving Work or result, situation family, scope, time window, non-negotiable criteria, acceptable variation, and decision that will consume the qualification.
  3. Recover the individual contribution. Name the input, result or preserved condition, procedure or invariant as far as known, applicability, and important source meaning. Do not credit the subject with another Method’s result.
  4. Check attributable conditions. Inspect timing and burden attributable to this subject; performer capability; support and provider access; authority or responsibility; evidence; and source or transfer limits.
  5. Test local connections only. Check an input/result handoff, schema correspondence, or adapter feasibility when it can be supported independently. Record its scope and failure case.
  6. Return the truthful branch. An identified Method is qualified or not qualified for the bounded use. A candidate account is retained or excluded as an account, with unresolved identification conditions unchanged. A local connection is supported, unsupported, or unresolved.
  7. Choose the stop. Stop after one usable Method, one retained account, or several independently usable subjects when no whole question remains. Enter ME.6 only when a several-structure choice can change the decision.
