Instrument 03 of 14

Would you still choose it?

An option is real if the person can use it and still be safe, paid, intact, coherent, and included afterward.

Run it on a real case: Post Office Horizon (United Kingdom, 1999–2015), Aviation Safety Reporting System (United States, since 1976)

Safety

Using it exposes the person to retaliation, harm, or loss of protection.

Income

Using it costs pay, hours, benefits, or the job.

Dignity

Using it requires being disbelieved, examined, or made a case.

Coherence

Using it requires becoming someone the person is not, to be legible to the process.

Belonging

Using it marks the person as difficult, and the mark follows them.

Available
Yes. This line does not change.
Inhabitable
No. The option exists on paper. Using it would cost income and dignity. Here the record of “chose to stay” measures pressure.

Appeal a denied claim: what exercising it costs, account by account.

The policy test

Would this person still choose the arrangement if refusal were safe?

Only while the costs hold. The arrangement is being tolerated.
