PSD.13:4.4 - Make the recommendation account inspectable at the smallest useful size
The account is a claim-bearing result, not a mandatory template or new record kind. A short message may carry it; a consequential institutional matter may need a larger package and protected annex. Keep the following content recoverable wherever it can change reliance.
| Position | Decision-useful content |
|---|---|
| Receiving frame | Recipient, recommending performer, holder or subject, question, horizon, choice owner, receiving decision and next Work. |
| Candidate domain | Considered alternatives, compared subset, exclusions with their basis, retained alternatives and any candidate gap. |
| Relied-on premises | Exact results and relevant source editions or dates, configurations, qualification windows, evidence limits and supplying owners. |
| Comparison and inference | Scheme, material trade-offs, protected conditions, robust regions or reversals, and the reasoning that supports the disposition. |
| Unresolved content | Material uncertainty, dissent, evidence losses, unsupported extensions and what each prevents. |
| Return | One or more explicitly scoped dispositions and the next consideration, request, reroute or separately governed choice they support. |
| Reconsideration | The source, observation, configuration, threshold, authority, horizon or candidate change that could alter a specified claim or disposition. |
Put the disposition and its most important limit first. Keep the evidence and reasoning reachable without requiring the recipient to reconstruct the entire analysis. Where a protected annex limits access, the accessible return must still state the resulting reliance restriction; it must not hide that a decisive premise is unavailable to the recipient.
A threshold in this account needs a source and an owner for its meaning. “Reconsider when recovery evidence no longer supports the continuity condition” is useful only if the named evidence, condition and receiving question can be recovered. PSD.14 designs how such evidence will be obtained and interpreted. If a positive recommendation depends on ongoing observation, an unassigned or infeasible observation obligation is a material limit now, not an administrative detail to repair after handoff.
