Mechanisms¶
- Boundary Sensitivity Analysis
- Its canonical target is the notch, or benefit cliff: a point where a small change in the input produces a discontinuous jump in treatment.
This sourceA notch is a threshold discontinuity in the level of a budget or choice set.

- Threshold and Cutpoint Table
- Its structural hazard is the notch (cliff) effect — because treatment jumps discontinuously at a cut, a case an arbitrarily small distance across the line receives a categorically different outcome, which both distorts behavior near the seam and rewards gaming.
This sourceExplains that notches create discontinuous outcome changes at thresholds and induce behavioral bunching and manipulation around the cutoff.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
