STR.11:4.2 - Carry the actual evidence and uncertainty into choice

Use the comparison for these alternatives, configuration, horizon and criterion. Retain supported claims, material uncertainty and conditions that make a candidate unavailable. Apply a changed basis to all affected alternatives; do not compare one under an old assumption and another under a new one.

A PSD.10 uncertainty result can supply the bounded claim or unresolved question. Use it within its population, conditions and source limits. An interest interview cannot become a conversion forecast in the final decision merely because a financial table needs revenue.

Choose the smallest useful result the evidence can support. A sound preparation decision may leave the larger direction open. A sufficient negative result can justify continuation or rejection without another experiment. When a necessary condition is missing, narrow the commitment or return the gap.
