Act 7 does not add authority to the earlier analysis. It tests whether the completed records support one provisional direction, a mixed reading, or abstention.

Enter with:

• one selected target and its support/obstacle map;
• the Act 5 state-and-interaction worksheet;
• the Act 6 moving/transformed relevance record;
• every material disagreement between cited sources and declared course conventions still visible.

If any of those is missing, return to the relevant act rather than filling the gap with impression.

The five-step judgment record

Step	Learner output
1. Compare target and obstacle	two qualitative rows with original flags preserved
2. Identify the applicable rule	cited received rule, named UAYA convention, or abstain
3. Test whole-chart context	kept, dropped, or direction-changing factors
4. Assign confidence	evidence-quality tier with reasons, never a percentage
5. Audit movement and relevance	explicit path for every retained active factor

The finished artifact contains four fields:

provisional direction → mechanism → evidence-quality confidence → unresolved limit

It is a transparent course record, not proof that the method predicts events.

Three permitted endings

1. Provisional direction: the target/obstacle comparison is resolved and no material conflict remains hidden.
2. Mixed: the declared rule produces no clear dominance and the record explains why.
3. Abstain: the target is missing, a material input is unresolved, or competing authorities would change the result.

Abstention is not a failed page. It is the correct result when the evidence record cannot support more.

Boundaries

• Course labels organize the worksheet; they do not validate an outside-world claim.
• Whole-chart counts cannot outvote the selected target without a demonstrated mechanism.
• Timing remains separate until Act 8.

Source note

The five-step record, comparison tables, and three permitted endings are explicit UAYA teaching conventions. They are fully stated in these lessons and are not presented as received doctrine. Received rules are cited only where a precise public locator supports the nearby claim.

Begin with the two rows that anchor the audit: Comparing Target and Obstacle Strength.

The modules

7.1 Comparing Target and Obstacle Strength

Build a target-versus-obstacle comparison from qualitative states while preserving the original conditions behind broader course categories.

7.2 The Outcome Rules

Apply a complete six-row course comparison table, then record a bounded direction, mixed result, or abstention.

7.3 Whole-Chart Strength

Use a six-line distribution check as context while requiring every retained factor to connect back to the selected target.

7.4 Confidence and Uncertainty

Assign a transparent evidence-quality tier without converting confidence into probability or hiding material conflicts.

7.5 Movement Has Cause

Require every retained moving, transformed, clash, combination, or frame factor to show an explicit path to the target.
