# Decision-relevant research Research answers: What decision-relevant facts can be established with sufficient confidence, and what remains uncertain? ## Explicit recording Use this profile when the project has adopted the RigorLoop Record Format and explicitly selected the change. Read the project's model documents; The Workflow model owns decision meaning, the Record Format model owns stored shapes, and the CLI model owns construction and persistence. New primary roots require `rigorloop-records-v2`; existing `explicit-recording-v1` roots retain their exact compatibility contract. Do not migrate an existing root. Unknown contracts stop without fallback. This profile replaces historical package, transition, recording and output-shape procedures below, including their conditional resources. Retain substantive stage duties, permissions, independent assessment and proof obligations; historical contracts keep their own procedures. Use `rigorloop context --root PATH --change ID --input - --format json` with explicitly selected kinds/filters and full detail. Expand the selection when needed: omitted content is not evidence of absence. Copy `record_contract` and `revision` into the targeted request's `contract` and `expected_revision`. Use `rigorloop subject inspect --root PATH --path FILE --content full --format json` for the exact engineering basis and mechanical identities; supply relied-on subjects as `reads` with their expected identities. Make your decision, then use t...
