Card coverage

Candidate only

Proposed concept boundary: Association alone is insufficient to identify a causal effect.

Open decision

Review the boundary without implying all observational inference fails; any identification procedure needs its own assumptions.

Missing work

  1. Review concept identity and role ownership before authoring a Card.
  2. Author role-local scope, logic and required method, diagnostic, objective or action content for the selected functions.
  3. Record exact inspected sources and transformations, or explicitly review QE editorial synthesis with assertion-level evidence limits.
  4. Obtain editorial acceptance separately from structural validation.
