MONACO 2026 · RDM-03METHOD

FROM PUBLIC EVIDENCE.TO A RATIFIED MECHANISM.

The method does not make public information proprietary. It tests whether separate public facts form a consequential dependency, what would disprove that dependency, and where the surviving mechanism changes a decision.

DISCOVER. CHALLENGE. RATIFY.
MAP. SELECT.

Each stage has a different job. A candidate does not become RDM-03 because it sounds plausible. It becomes an RDM only if the mechanism and evidence boundary survive challenge. Decision relevance is tested separately when the ratified mechanism is applied to a surface.

01 / DISCOVER

Generate candidate dependency mechanisms from public evidence. Look for changing relationships between things still treated as separate.

Output: DEPENDENCY MECHANISM CANDIDATE / DMC
02 / CHALLENGE

Attack the candidate with contradiction, prior art, separability and falsifiability tests. Ask what evidence would kill it.

Output: SURVIVOR OR NULL
03 / RATIFY

Promote only a surviving mechanism. Freeze what is OBSERVED, MODELLED, INFERRED and UNPROVEN so later work cannot silently upgrade the evidence.

Output: RATIFIED DEPENDENCY MECHANISM / RDM
04 / MAP

Map the ratified dependency mechanism onto the public surface, its functions and decision boundaries without claiming knowledge of internal portfolios or models.

Output: SURFACE MAP
05 / SELECT

Choose the consequential question to develop. GUARD asks what the dependency could threaten. CREATE asks what recognising it could make newly valuable.

Output: BOUNDED DECISION QUESTION

THE STATES DO NOT BLUR.
THEY CONSTRAIN THE CLAIM.

OBSERVEDLarge-load / disconnection eventsDirectly evidenced initiating events or system behaviour.
MODELLEDWider system propagationWider propagation that is analytically constructed, not claimed as observed.
INFERREDCross-exposure correlationCross-exposure or decision relevance supported by the mechanism and public footprint.
UNPROVENInsured consequencePortfolio-scale insured consequence or institution-specific internal treatment.

A DEPENDENCY MUST BE KILLABLE.
OTHERWISE IT IS ONLY A STORY.

The method is designed to permit NULL at both stages. A mechanism does not ratify if it cannot be separated from prior art or survive contradiction. A ratified mechanism does not pass a surface test unless consequential decision relevance can be supported without unsupported assumptions.

MECHANISM

Is the dependency mechanism defined precisely enough to test?

SEPARABILITY

Is this more than a relabelled known risk or existing category?

CONTRADICTION

What public evidence weakens or breaks the proposed connection?

PRIOR ART

Has the same dependency already been publicly recognised in materially equivalent form?

SURFACE CONSEQUENTIALITY

Could the ratified mechanism change a real institutional decision on this surface?

FALSIFIABILITY

What evidence would cause the dependency or downstream claim to fail?

CONSEQUENCE and OPPORTUNITY remain separate reports. GUARD and CREATE are the simple decision layer. Commission either report on its own, or both against the same RDM-03 evidence base.

01 / CONSEQUENCE REPORT

GUARD FROM THIS DEPENDENCY.

Develops the institution-specific consequence position: what the dependency puts under pressure, which exposures or decisions it connects, and what the institution should guard.

02 / OPPORTUNITY REPORT

CREATE WITH THIS DEPENDENCY.

Develops the institution-specific opportunity position: what recognising the dependency could help create across decisions, products, services, structures, capabilities or market position.

NO ACCESS TO YOUR INTERNAL SYSTEMS.
NO CLAIM TO KNOW YOUR PORTFOLIO.

The method stays outside-in. Public evidence can establish the mechanism, its evidence state and the institution's public footprint. It cannot establish how a buyer treats RDM-03 internally. That comparison belongs to the buyer.
