PSD.12:4.7 - Return a bounded robustness account

Return the tested claim and comparison basis; the variation region and omissions; the method and evidence limits; supported holding regions and reversal conditions; unresolved comparisons or candidate gaps; information priorities and feasibility limits; and the observation that reopens the result.

PSD.13 may use this evidence for the same configuration and horizon to compose a recommendation. Evidence does not entail that recommendation or the later receiving decision. An unavailable, stale, or incompatible robustness result can be replaced only by a qualified direct result or an explicit gap.

Recognition starts with a plausible reversal. Consequential assurance also requires qualified model and source use, correct analysis, adequate challenge coverage, and the direct domain’s protection and independence requirements. Robustness to uncertain parameters does not cure an invalid model or missing safety result.
