STR.13:11 - SoTA-Echoing

How should a strategic method earn its place? Adopt ME.14’s situated comparison of domain contribution, whole burden and current alternatives, rather than equating fit, popularity or task completion with worth. Sections 4.1–4.2 make continuation and a lighter sufficient method serious rivals. The contrast between a single forecast and uncertainty-sensitive judgement draws on Lempert and colleagues’ 2024 analysis and Rapp, Olbrich and Packard’s treatment of judgement under uncertainty. These inform the comparison question; they do not prove a universal strategy-method ranking.

What should a repertoire preserve? Adopt ME.15’s semantic-variant and evidence distinctions. The pattern also addresses how reasons, alternatives and criticism can be lost between people and tools. Sections 4.3–4.5 and cases 5.2–5.3 favour a retrievable qualified reason over automatic new variants or a larger archive. The repertoire retains several Methods and lets practitioners revise them as their uses change. Reopen the repertoire decision when a changed alternative, semantic rule, capability, source or supported use changes the situated comparison.
