Runtime assurance and delegated authority must both pass

Decision-use interpretation

The decision-use question is whether Runtime assurance and delegated authority must both pass can be supported as a cyber-defense and assurance maturity proposition using qualitative. Its dependency chain is attestation; issuer authority; status; policy. Because the declared range state is NOT_SUPPLIED_NO_RANGE_INVENTED, the record supplies no forecast interval beyond what the corrected source actually states.

Analysts should watch verified change in attestation; verified change in issuer authority; verified change in status; primary-source status review; independent replication or operational evidence; recorded contradiction or correction. The assumption must be downgraded, corrected, or superseded if stale attestation; overbroad delegation. Its declared lag structure is VARIABLE_DIGITAL_AND_INSTITUTIONAL_LAG; digital change therefore cannot be treated as proof that the corresponding legal, financial, industrial, or physical transition has occurred.

Update and promotion

Retain SOURCE_ONLY until a separately authorized review binds current primary evidence, units, method, uncertainty, and date. Preserve prior values and publish a correction or supersession record.

• Current primary source for legal, technical, market, or standards claims
• Independent evidence matching the declared units and scope
• Method and uncertainty record
• Correction history and disconfirming evidence
• Authority record for any operational conclusion
