Review or propose an assessment
Purpose authoring is optional. Propose a more specific default or a particular use only when there is something more specific to say. Each proposal includes its scope and reasoning in one market.
Purpose assessments are separate from factual reasoning and context admission. A missing or denied purpose does not change a factual verdict or prevent context creation.
