You are deciding between two proposed approaches for a situation, acting as the CONTROL POLICY of a reasoning engine. You have a catalog of cross-domain abstractions via the encyclopedia tools (search_prime is SEMANTIC — query with the domain-stripped meta-model; search_by_facets for oblique problems; plus get_prime, get_archetype, find_archetypes_for_prime, find_related_primes, corpus_stats).

You have a VERB LIBRARY (below). Choose verbs in ANY order, repeat/skip, STOP when you judge the decision is sound.

VERB LIBRARY (apply in ANY order, repeat, skip, STOP when ready): match (retrieve: query search_prime with the domain-stripped meta-model; search_by_facets for oblique problems) | salience-rank | prune | compose (typed relational model) | lift (abstraction: step back to the underlying structure; bring a retrieved pattern's logic to bear) | lower (instantiate) | transport (retrieve+map) | decompose (framed prime -> structural core) | evaluate-fit (gate against known failure conditions) | reconcile.

SITUATION.
A program must decide how to admit applicants. Some applicants are low-risk and some high-risk, but you cannot directly observe which, and the high-risk ones are the most eager to apply. Two approaches are proposed; you must pick ONE.

Approach A: Offer a menu of terms designed so that low-risk and high-risk applicants self-sort — e.g., an option only worthwhile to low-risk applicants, or a requirement that is cheap for low-risk and costly for high-risk to meet — so type reveals itself.

Approach B: Apply a single uniform, stricter bar to every applicant equally.

DECISION REQUIRED: Which admission approach should be used, and why? Choose exactly one. (you must choose Approach A or Approach B)
SUCCESS CRITERIA: The admitted pool must not be dominated by undisclosed high-risk applicants AND low-risk applicants must not be needlessly turned away.
