Research question and boundary

Incident Severity Reclassification Reliability Study asks whether severity changes preserve original evidence, decision timing, owner rationale, communications, and downstream response expectations. Stage 1, research question and boundary, declares one incident across initial classification, evidence updates, reviewer labels, reclassification, notifications, actions, and final reconciliation as the observation unit and freezes population, system boundaries, local and UTC times, source versions, inclusion rules, exclusions, and intended decision before outcomes are reviewed. Record DO-R-1013-01 distinguishes system events, engineering interpretations, owner decisions, implementation evidence, and unresolved hypotheses. This prospective protocol reports no completed client outcomes and defines no universal performance benchmark.

At stage 1 for Incident Severity Reclassification Reliability Study, include routine, missing-source, wrong-identity, conflicting-version, late-arriving, inaccessible-system, unavailable-owner, reversed, corrected, reverted, and reopened cases. Two reviewers classify a stratified subset independently using written anchors, preserve first-pass disagreement, and adjudicate against retained evidence. Report numerator, denominator, exclusions, null values, age bands, correction rate, disagreement, and residual cases together. Alternative explanations include configuration, case mix, cache state, clock drift, synchronization, sampling, ownership changes, release versions, seasonality, and selection effects. The ten public sources guide control design but do not inspect this system, establish causation, certify a provider, or authorize deployment. Preserve protocol, queries, codebook, fixtures, sample receipt, chronology, reviewer notes, decision log, approved action, verification, limitations, and refresh trigger so another authorized engineer can reproduce the bounded result without retaining secrets or unnecessary production data.

Frequently asked questions

Does this report claim measured production outcomes?

No. It specifies a prospective protocol and does not present completed field results.

Why preserve reviewer disagreement?

Disagreement exposes ambiguous definitions before consensus hides them.

What authority does this study transfer?

None. Named client-side technical, security, privacy, and release owners retain consequential decisions.
