TA-14 governs the boundary between a proposed consequence and reality. Use this demonstration to see why evidence, authorization, or a previous approval does not automatically establish permission to execute now.
Does this proposed consequence have sufficient ADMISSIBILITY, AUTHORITY, and STANDING to become reality NOW?
PROPOSED CONSEQUENCE
SCHOOL CLASSROOM
Increase outdoor-air ventilation in Classroom 214.
CO2 is elevated. The controller proposes more outdoor air.
ADMISSIBILITYIs the evidence sufficient, attributable, and current?
AUTHORITYIs this consequence legitimately permitted within scope?
STANDINGDo the evidence, authority, actors, systems and conditions still apply now?
ESCALATION CONDITIONDoes this boundary require a higher or different authority?
CHANGED CONDITION: Outdoor PM2.5 has risen since the recommendation was created.
TA-14 BOUNDED DETERMINATION
HOLD
The evidence or authority may have been valid earlier, but sufficient standing is not established now.
THE QUESTION IS NOT ONLY “WAS IT VALID?” · THE QUESTION IS “IS IT VALID NOW?”
ADMISSIBILITY
A record is not automatically admissible evidence. TA-14 asks whether the evidence is sufficient for this specific consequence.
AUTHORITY
A recommendation is not permission. TA-14 asks whether legitimate authority exists, remains in scope, and permits this consequence.
STANDING
A determination that was legitimate earlier may not remain legitimate now. TA-14 rechecks the relationship between evidence, authority, actors, systems, conditions and consequence.
