RMP.2:9 - Consequences

The team receives a decision that is useful before protocol Work begins. Existing evidence can stop waste. Selected designs retain the criticism and refusal logic that justified them. Missing owner results surface before detailed work hardens around a fictional premise. Legitimate operational details can remain without turning every design decision into an indefinite wait.

Pluralism has a cost: candidates cannot be compared by label or one universal evidence score. Practitioners must understand enough of serious alternatives to state their evidence relations and threats honestly. Some preferred designs will be held or rejected when access, measurement, mechanism, safety, or authority changes.

The four dispositions also protect later readers. They distinguish sufficient evidence, a selected strategy, a particular selection still held, and a completed allocation answer with insufficient evidence or a bounded answer. None confuses prospective design or a named missing result with performed or commissioned Work, or transfers downstream authority.
