SYSE.44:4.3 - Integrate claims against their actual grounds

Ask each return to preserve the result, premises, source/configuration, unsupported conditions and what it did or did not establish. Check that it answers the requested contribution for the same receiving use. A confident response to a nearby question is a missing contribution.

Reconcile disagreements by identifying the claim and its source or assumption. Compare original evidence, run a discriminating calculation or obtain a qualified specialist result when needed. Do not resolve common-source error by majority vote. Independence requires the evidence and checking relation that the claim needs; a second persona or fresh context alone does not supply it.

Combine only mutually usable returns. Test the joins: compatible units, definitions, input versions, scope and whole-result conditions. Preserve a supported partial result when another required result is missing, and state why the whole is still incomplete. The integrator retains the whole result’s required conditions.
