Guide
Follow one possible impact path.
Follow relationships without turning proximity or correlation into proven cause.
Inspect the relationship, not just the line
- 01Open the originating change
Verify the observation and its source state.
- 02Check relationship validity
Confirm that the relationship existed during the relevant period.
- 03Compare support and counter-signals
Keep incompatible evidence available for review.
- 04Stop at an unsupported edge
Record the gap instead of inferring the missing connection.
A path is not a causal finding
A displayed connection can justify further inquiry. It does not, by itself, establish cause, responsibility, or likely outcome.
