SYSE.35:2 - Problem

A small deployment can still produce a large consequence through shared state or dependencies. A quiet dashboard can also reflect the wrong user task, absent instrumentation or too few relevant observations rather than a good change.

A comparison is misleading when candidate and control differ in workload, configuration or observation. Successful platform delivery does not demonstrate successful use of the delivered application. Exposure control must therefore connect actual runtime identity to a user-relevant question and a real action.
