PSDA.7:4 - Solution
Connect each material uncertainty to the exact claim and decision it can change. Use a representation justified by the available knowledge, retain dependencies and limits, and return a bounded claim, discriminating question, narrowed use,…

PSDA.7:9 - Consequences
The recipient can see what is known well enough for this decision and which unknown deserves attention. Some numerical precision is lost, but unsupported certainty is removed. The work can become smaller: once an uncertainty cannot…

PSDA.7:10 - Rationale
Uncertainty matters through its effect on a decision claim, not through its size alone. Preserving the source, representation, and dependency of each premise makes that effect inspectable. A bounded unknown can support useful inquiry…

PSDA.7:3 - Forces
Force Tension Qualification and action A decision needs bounded support, not complete knowledge, while an unsupported premise can make action indefensible.
Probability and ignorance Probabilities can represent uncertainty well when…

PSDA.7:2 - Problem
A numerical estimate can hide the conditions under which it is meaningful. An access model may estimate arrival time only when the road is open; a training study may concern an immediate test rather than later Work; an AI evaluation may…

PSDA.7:5.4 - Cheap non-use
An analyst needs to recover which calibration edition a measurement cites, and no candidate comparison is being made. Use the source and evidence practice directly. A decision-linked uncertainty account would add no current result…

PSDA.3 may supply model evidence and assumptions for the same configuration and horizon. Representation alone establishes neither the subject condition nor this uncertainty judgement.
PSDA.8 may use the bounded claims and questions where…

Each material uncertainty is linked to a claim, alternatives, configuration, horizon, and receiving use.

PSDA.7:1 - Problem frame
Use this when a point estimate, “high confidence” label, or model output makes a decision look more settled than its evidence permits. Also use it when a long uncertainty list does not say which unknown could reverse, narrow, defer,…
