MMP.19:4.6 - Use a sufficient consequence and reopen the affected assumption
Return the target’s meaning, the supported value or range, and the assumptions that determine its use. The calculation can already carry these facts; a separate record is needed only by a receiving use.
If every compatible answer supports the same sufficient action or explanation, use that result. If the distinction matters, identify what would change it: a defensible restriction on mechanisms, informative existing records, a feasible different observation, or a different question. MMP.16 and C.11.DUA compare the value and burden of obtaining that contribution. Unavailable evidence can leave a bounded answer and a choice under uncertainty.
A revised recording rule changes the factual conditioning. A revised intervention changes the response functions. A changed criterion can make joint dependence irrelevant. Recalculate the affected contribution while retaining the rest.
During an investigation, this construction can perform its mathematical-modeling contribution while conditioning and mechanism evaluation supply constituent Methods. The investigator or subject specialist supplies the case and causal interpretation; a mathematical or AI collaborator may supply the calculation. Availability of one contribution leaves the others to be obtained where the work needs them.
