MMP.18:7 - Conformance Checklist
The coupled construction supports its stated use when:
- the requested combined result and the component contributions needed for it are recoverable;
- shared quantities retain their subject meanings and relevant units, reference points and conditions;
- each consequential exchange has a relation that connects what is supplied to what is used;
- aggregation or scale change retains, obtains or bounds the information the receiving operation needs;
- jointly applicable component and interface conditions hold for the claimed solution;
- computational exchange approximations are distinguished from actual subject delays or events;
- shared uncertainty and evidence have the dependence and multiplicity asserted by the joint model;
- the result retains a consequential limit and a usable return to the contribution that failed.
These conditions recognize the coupled model. Establishing its subject applicability or a numerical error guarantee needs the corresponding subject or computational argument when the use requires it.
