RMP.9:5.5 - Preserve the distinct contributions in mixed research

A project combines a fixed-category count with an interpretive account. A coding revision changes both what is counted and what the categories mean. Reassess the affected count, interpretation and integration relation at their own purposes. A gain in counting consistency cannot by itself settle the interpretation, while an interpretive insight cannot validate an altered measurement.

Return the affected operational, analytic or synthesis contribution through RMP.3, RMP.5 or RMP.7. Retain the unaffected material and make any changed claim visible to its actual recipient. The two contributions need a defensible relation, not an invented common score.
