Candidate
A proposed use linked to evidence, controls, and a conventional comparator.
OPERATIONAL UTILITY REGISTER · P12
Useful does not mean fundamental.
The register records what a relationship can reliably do, within which boundaries, compared with what, and with which failure modes. Ontological interpretation remains a separate claim.
Single-site demonstrated
A bounded effect was produced once under inspectable conditions.
Independently replicated
Another sufficiently independent site reproduced the bounded effect.
Bounded operational utility
Benefits, limits, safety, failure modes, and operating conditions support a defined use.
Superseded
Later evidence, safer methods, better comparisons, access changes, or obsolescence displaced the entry.
MAINTENANCE + OBSOLESCENCE HOOK
Every utility remains conditional
- Link evidence relationships and independent replications.
- Publish conventional comparisons and operating bounds.
- Retain failure modes, harms, reversibility, and safety review.
- Append confidence changes rather than rewriting history.
- Mark superseded entries and preserve their replacement path.
