SYSE.28:4.5 - Exercise the control where it will be relied on

Use a normal case, a known violating case, a subject substitution and a checker-unavailable case. Confirm that the intended dependent action receives the right outcome and explanation. Check any authorized exception path separately.

For consequential reliance, also inspect whether the controlled property can change between observation and use. Bind the result to the actual subject or protect that interval with a qualified mechanism. A green check followed by an uncontrolled substitution does not protect the receiving action.

Return the placement, mechanism, outcome interpretation, applicable conditions and remaining gaps. Safety or compliance claims that rely on the control require their own domain evidence; placing the check is not that qualification.
