cost bearers
delay bearers
temporary protection
information sought
review trigger
expiry

Dissent trail

centers
position
reasons
evidence
protected-condition claim
predicted consequence
requested review
future trigger
publication and privacy

Consequence return

observed consequence
predicted consequence
unexpected consequence
affected centers
cost-bearer change
protected-condition status
dissent comparison
revision options
authority

Governing principle

Public answerability begins where the selected action remains connected to the reasons, refusals, delays, and consequences it did not absorb.
