Artifact: drift_pluralism_recheck_v1. This note defines the fields required before an older claim can be reused under changed scenarios, populations, or value assumptions.
Artifact
The recheck object does not erase the original claim. It prevents an old result from being treated as fresh evidence after the world around it has changed. Evidence age, scenario drift, population change, and value assumptions are separate fields because each can break a different part of the claim.
Trigger
A serious claim should name the condition that forces it back into review. A new population, a new threat model, a changed baseline, a policy shift, or a changed definition of success can all turn a previously bounded result into an unreviewed extrapolation.
Status
When the population or value assumption changes, the claim may need to narrow instead of grow. The updated status field records whether the claim is still supported, only partially supported, waiting for new evidence, or no longer covered by the original packet.
The earlier claim being reused, cited before it is extended or softened.
The age and origin of the evidence that currently supports the claim.
The changed environment, threat model, market, policy, or operating condition.
The changed user, institution, model, dataset, customer, or deployment population.
The value judgment that controls what counts as a success, loss, or acceptable tradeoff.
The current status after the recheck: retained, narrowed, suspended, or replaced.
