These cannot be resolved through further public research and require access to representatives of an actual network and its relevant authorizers, even when the first test uses only mock records."},"safe_authorized_first_step":{"status":"YES","reason":"The proposed compensated tabletop is limited to hypothetical or inactive noncritical functions and mock records, changes no live service, roster, funds, credentials, data, or public notice, requires participation and authority confirmation, and has explicit privacy, pressure, distress, and authority-dispute halt conditions."},"bounded_decisive_empirical_design":{"status":"YES","reason":"Matched scenarios are counterbalanced between an ordinary authorized closure package and the same package plus the assembly, with immediate and seven-day measures of status and obligation accuracy alongside coercion, disclosure, distress, burden, false discharge, and stranded-duty outcomes."},"no_material_negative_gate":{"status":"YES","reason":"The verified gates contain no material NO: the problem, incremental claim, bounded test, safety and authority controls, and cost scope pass. Adopter or authorizer evidence is uncertain only because no named organization has committed, which is precisely the partner-access question the inquiry is designed to resolve."},"not_merely_more_research":{"status":"YES","reason":"The next action is a specified partner inquiry and preregistered comparator tabletop with defined participants, artifacts, measurements, safety halts, success criteria, and falsifiers—not an open-ended request for additional research."}},"uncertainty_types":["ADOPTER_PULL","INCREMENTAL_EFFECT","WORKFLOW_FIT"],"partner_profile":"One neighborhood mutual-aid network with at least one inactive or hypothetical noncritical function, a fiscal sponsor or legal board able to confirm authority, a data custodian, current or former volunteers, affected-resident representatives, and prospective transfer-partner representatives willing to join a compensated mock-data tabletop.","required_access":"Written participation and authority confirmation; compensated access to 24–40 relevant representatives; permission to model the network's roles and closure workflow using mock function cards, notices, rosters, funds, credentials, custody records, reliance statements, and transfer scenarios. No live beneficiary data or operational changes are required for the first test.","bounded_empirical_test":"Preregister and run a compensated, counterbalanced tabletop using matched noncritical mandate scenarios. Compare (A) a valid sunset clause, standard closure checklist, and safe transition plan with (B) the same package plus the witnessed renewal-and-release assembly. Measure immediately and after seven days whether participants correctly identify service status, authorized owner, volunteer refusal path, public notice, data and credential custodian, and every surviving duty; also measure coercion, unwanted disclosure, distress, time burden, ambiguity, false discharge, and stranded simulated duties. Halt on pressure, distress, privacy failure, or unresolved authority conflict.","success_condition":"Relative to the ordinary closure package, the assembly produces a preregistered material improvement in immediate and seven-day accuracy and cross-stakeholder consistency concerning status, authority, refusal rights, custody, and surviving obligations, while producing no meaningful increase in coercion, unwanted disclosure, distress, ambiguity, false discharge, stranded duties, or uncompensated time burden; the participating network and authorizers judge a bounded live pilot acceptable.","falsification_condition":"The ordinary closure package performs equivalently, or the assembly materially increases coercion, disclosure concerns, distress, delay, ambiguity, or false inference that ceremony discharged obligations; any simulated duty is stranded; authority cannot be resolved; or the network and its authorizers decline further testing after experiencing the workflow.","rationale":"Adjacent practices already cover demobilization, dissolution, transition, recognition, and volunteer disengagement, so broad novelty is not credible. A specific incremental claim nevertheless survives: witnessed, consent-governed symbolic renewal and release may improve collective and operational legibility beyond those practices. The problem has credible external support, and a low-risk comparator tabletop can decisively test the remaining causal and workflow questions, but it requires participation from an actual adopter and its stakeholder-authority structure."}
