Card coverage

Fixture only

Proposed concept boundary: Consequential metrics can induce adaptation that degrades their intended informativeness.

Open decision

Review the fixture identity and five contributions, including provider reuse; it is not an authored QE48 Card simply because an example exists.

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.
