MMP.14:3 - Forces
| Force | Consequence for the method |
|---|
| Intended use versus overall fit | The discrepancy must retain distinctions on which the receiving prediction depends. |
| Sensitivity versus ordinary variation | A useful diagnostic can reveal systematic failure without declaring every unusual observation erroneous. |
| Localization versus ambiguity | A pattern of failure narrows repairs but often does not uniquely identify the defective assumption. |
| Adaptation versus evaluation | Data used to choose a repair cannot also supply an untouched assessment of that choice. |
| Flexibility versus retained structure | A repair must preserve needed constraints and account for the additional estimation or regularization it introduces. |
| Assurance versus effort | Use available comparisons first; acquire more evidence only for a consequential unresolved claim. |
