Relevant precedents The permitted precedent set is limited to owned fictional firm methods; the knowledge search returned no other permitted entries. The closest fit is the Cross-case interview synthesis method, version 2. It fits because the present question is not whether a service should be launched, but how to compare selected role accounts while keeping a reported experience separate from a causal explanation. It transfers four usable disciplines: quote-linked candidate themes; visible source roles; a specific explanation of what any apparently contrary account challenges; and an explicit limit on prevalence, causation, demand and value claims. Applied here, the method supports retaining two distinct candidate propositions: uncertainty about the current brief version, and uncertainty about an open decision or next owner. The project-lead account qualifies only a missing-information explanation in two fictional cases because it reports complete handovers. It does not negate the separate account of version uncertainty. Likewise, the sponsor account of a waiting decision supports investigation of ownership visibility, but does not establish that approval delay caused repeated questions. No counterquote should be manufactured for themes where none is warranted. The method also transfers an existing-process-first comparison: test whether the current meeting and existing checklist can make scope choices, approvals and next owners explicit before considering an added handover review. What does not transfer is an approval of this report, proof that the method is correct in this case, a conclusion about client demand or willingness to pay, or permission to reuse this engagement as client evidence. The method itself is an owned, fictional local-testing method, not expert or buyer validation. The current report has no approval, and the added scope-v2 residual-obligation handover was not covered by the earlier scope-v1 review. Prior accepted records remain review history, not current approval. The capacity-planning method was considered but is not selected: its confirmed-versus-conditional workload and access-release criteria concern resourcing assumptions, whereas this engagement supplies no workload model. Its only transferable caution is that unverified access timing must not be turned into a delivery commitment; it supplies no substantive basis for the qualitative findings. SOURCE AND REVIEW Local fictional precedent comparison. Selected owned method v2 fits semantic evidence review; capacity method is not a substantive precedent. Current report remains unapproved on scope2. Internal practice only; no client evidence or external claim. Fictional local reviewer / Maya: approve this exact fictional precedent brief for internal method comparison. It identifies fit, exclusions and current report hold. It establishes no expert validation, client permission or business value.
