What happens when a scenario enters
A scenario is any situation that affects an Engine user and needs accountability shown. The Engine does not run the underlying work — it organizes the record of it, under one governing architecture, and returns a defensible answer.
Any scenario affecting an Engine user can enter the system when the relevant facts, participants, obligations, evidence, and context are supplied.
A scenario enters as structured inputs — who is involved, what was owed, what was done, and the evidence for it. The Engine organizes supplied information; it does not claim to interpret completely unstructured material on its own. What matters is that the relevant facts are present, not that the scenario was pre-built.
Every scenario is processed by the same governing rules. The Engine organizes the scenario into the elements accountability actually depends on:
- Facts
- The observed context of the scenario, preserved as recorded rather than overwritten.
- Actors
- The people and organizations involved, and the capacity each one holds.
- Obligations
- What was owed, and the moment a specific participant accepted a specific obligation.
- Authority
- Who is permitted to see, decide, or act — decided per object, never granted by a login.
- Evidence
- The artifacts that demonstrate what happened, kept authoritative and immutable.
- Verification
- Whether the evidence has been independently confirmed, and to what degree.
- Attribution
- Which participant a result attaches to, and on what basis.
- Outcome
- What the record establishes — and, just as clearly, what it does not.
- The scenario
- The facts and participants
- The controlling question
- The perspective-appropriate answer and its boundary
- The governing architecture
- The rules that organize the record
- The requirement that conclusions be derived, not authored
- The shared, unchanging underlying record
New scenario. Same governing architecture. New facts and participants. Same rules. A perspective-appropriate Engine Answer. A new scenario is not a new product.
The same record can be viewed by a physician, an employer, an administrator or vendor, an adviser, a fiduciary or legal reviewer, and a patient. These are not six separate products — they are authorized perspectives over one shared accountable record.
- The facts remain stable across every perspective.
- Authority and perspective determine what can be seen.
- The controlling question changes with the perspective.
- The projection and its boundary may change.
- The underlying record does not change.
Choosing a perspective never grants authority. Authority is decided per object, for every request.
