MMP.16:7 - Conformance Checklist

A constructed design supports its intended use when:

• the remaining disagreement and the answer it could change are identifiable;
• its predicted records follow from the alternatives and the actual selection and recording procedure;
• shared unknowns and adaptive choices retain their dependencies;
• the claimed separation, error property or expected improvement follows from a reconstructible comparison;
• any criterion based on information names the unknown being learned and its receiving use;
• feasibility and burden are compared at the scope needed for the decision, using present information as an available alternative;
• the result explains how the selected records change the answer and when an incompatible record returns to the model or observation assumptions.

These conditions concern the mathematical design and its stated assumptions. They do not establish that the observation was performed, that its subject assumptions hold, or that access is authorized. Stronger assurance belongs to the actual intended use.
