External result and authority boundaries

Domain practices own phenomena, mechanisms, instruments, measurements, admissible observations, validity criteria, safety, and truth conditions. Method Engineering owns reusable Method identity, repertoire, requirements, architecture, qualification, trial, fit, worth, variants/provenance, and introduction or revision. Operations, audit, evaluation, assurance, acceptance, governance, and institutional administration retain their own results.

Ethics, rights, confidentiality, privacy, security, community control, access, resources, providers, and receiving authorities supply their exact permissions or decisions. RMP may identify that one of those results changes the question or design; it does not issue the result.

Research returns a bounded episteme contribution and relevance to a receiver. It does not choose a maintenance interval, remediation, policy, release, treatment, compliance verdict, employment action, or personal decision.
