Candidate only

Proposed concept boundary: Desired conclusions can influence evaluation of evidence.

Open decision

Distinguish motivation from generic confirmation; retain the separate E2 hold until its reactivation criteria are met.

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.

Held · inactive · P48-40/E2

Evidence required before reactivation

Compare support for favored and unwelcome explanations using the same stated evidential criteria, looking for serious counterexamples.

  1. Demonstrate a distinct process that detects goal-motivated manipulation of evidential standards, rather than generic rival-evidence comparison
  2. Review canonical ownership and whether QE-EX-BIAS/E2 should be referenced rather than duplicated
  3. Provide source/provenance supporting independent role identity
