Constitutional summary

Canonical case

Staged Reconstructive Surgery Without Demonstrable Continuity of the Planned Reconstructive Obligation Chain

Constitutional first cause

The Engine begins when: A staged reconstructive strategy is initiated in which completion depends upon planned future procedures and reassessment. Not when the reconstruction fails. Not when the cosmetic result is poor. At the decision to begin a staged reconstruction.

Obligation architecture

  1. 1Event observed — Staged reconstruction initiated.
  2. 2Overall reconstructive plan documented.
  3. 3Current stage completed.
  4. 4Future stage requirements established.
  5. 5Patient understanding confirmed.
  6. 6Timing criteria identified.
  7. 7Intervening surveillance completed.
  8. 8Readiness for next stage verified.
  9. 9Next stage executed or intentionally modified.
  10. 10Final reconstruction completed or long-term management established.

Constitutional observations

What The Engine makes visible

Current systems can demonstrate: one operation completed; follow-up occurred; another surgery scheduled. They often cannot demonstrate: whether the original reconstructive strategy remained coherent; who owned the transition between stages; why stages changed; whether completion remained achievable; whether the patient's goals evolved. The accountability unit is not the operation. It is the staged obligation architecture.

Demonstration

No worked demonstration is provisioned for this specialty in this build. Occupational Medicine (Specialty 25) is the first domain and carries the worked demonstration; the constitutional architecture above is shared across specialties.
