SYSE.10:4.2 - Record the Result
Use one claim-and-decision sentence for a small reversible choice. For several evidence bases or consequential reliance, record:
| Field | Required content |
|---|---|
| decision and claim | Alternatives, deciding Agent, relying Work, consequence, claim, subject, configuration, environment, use, interval, scale, criterion, and stronger nearby claim. |
| source basis | Source epistemes and editions, currentness, hypotheses, explanations, heuristics, prior observations, rival accounts, and transfer limits. |
| Method and Work | Evidence-producing Method, discrimination question, planned or dated Work, performer, tools and resources, inputs, controls, disturbances, subject configuration, and result production. |
| model or representation use | Modeled subject, purpose, assumptions, omissions, parameters, boundary conditions, computation or inference, verification, calibration, validation, uncertainty, sensitivity, extrapolation, and C.29 correspondence when relevant. |
| observations and evidence | Observed occurrence or state, measurement Method and result, uncertainty and interval; target claim, polarity, grounding subject, scope, provenance, relevance window, supported and unsupported use. |
| criticism | Rival explanations, common assumptions, contradictions, negative results, configuration or implementation mismatch, selection effects, transfer limits, and omitted affected-System evidence. |
| assessment and decision effect | Supported, contradicted, narrowed, and unresolved claims; reliance limit; residual uncertainty; blocked stronger claim; and the choice, constraint, redesign, postponement, or stop that changes. |
| further evidence and reopen | Stopping reason and later change that reopens the assessment. When further evidence is chosen, the compatible C.11 or specialist experimental-design result; if that required result is unavailable, name it and the dependent use on hold. |
The assessment may cite supporting records—for example, model cards, trial reports, measurement records, or evidence graphs—instead of copying them. Keep the assessment tied to the receiving decision.
