Slot: divergences

Typed, individually explained ways in which this model departs from the mechanism it is linked to. The structured counterpart of the free-text limitations summary: each entry names a kind from a fixed taxonomy, says in the curator's own words why that kind of gap applies here, and optionally records whether it bears on this link's claim. Multivalued because a real caveat is usually several kinds at once.

Comments

  • Complements relationship and fidelity rather than replacing them -- those say what the model does and how well, this says in what specific respects it falls short
  • A SCALE_EXTRAPOLATION divergence should agree with the model_scale comparison; just model-scale-audit cross-checks the two
  • This slot is the structured form of rule 4 of the ten rules of credible practice in healthcare modeling ("list limitations explicitly"); typing the list rather than writing it as prose is the only change dismech makes to that rule.
