# Experiment 60B.82 — Live Explicit Confirmation Closure Confirmed
|
|
|
|
**Date:** 2026-08-15
|
|
**Branch:** `feature/decision-closure-ownership-v0.47`
|
|
**Preceded by:** Experiment 60B.81 (live no-confirmation State B path confirmed)
|
|
**Type:** Paired live observation — explicit-confirmation positive branch
|
|
|
|
## Objective
|
|
|
|
After 60B.81 proved the negative branch (no confirmation → decision stays open + sufficiency question), answer: does explicit sufficiency confirmation still close the decision cleanly?
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
final represented factor resolves
|
|
+
|
|
explicit sufficiency confirmation present
|
|
=>
|
|
parent decision may close
|
|
=>
|
|
active target clears
|
|
=>
|
|
no further question
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Method
|
|
|
|
- **Fixture:** `tests/fixtures/pre-anchored-product-launch-customer-signing.json`
|
|
- **Input (ANSWER_2):** `"The enterprise customer has now confirmed in writing that they will not sign if we launch this year, so the £700,000 of expected annual revenue from them will not be received. There are no other material uncertainties between launching this year and waiting twelve months."`
|
|
- **Crucially present:** `"There are no other material uncertainties"` — explicit sufficiency confirmation
|
|
- **Mode:** updateOnly (1 update call via production HTTP route)
|
|
|
|
## Result
|
|
|
|
**Classification: A — LIVE EXPLICIT-CONFIRMATION CLOSURE CONFIRMED**
|
|
|

| Financial revision | £1.2M/year → £500k/year (correctly reflects £700k enterprise loss) |
|
|
|
|
### What This Proves
|
|
|
|
1. Explicit sufficiency confirmation ("no other material uncertainties") flows cleanly through the 60B.80 gate to terminal closure of the parent decision.
|
|
2. Both the paired negative branch (60B.81: no confirmation → State B) and positive branch (60B.82: explicit confirmation → terminal close) are now live-baselined.
|
|
3. The confirmation-gated lifecycle is symmetric and complete in production.
|
|
|
|
### What Remains Unproven by This Run
|
|
|
|
- Edge-case confirmation phrasings (implicit, partial, or negated confirmation language).
|
|
- Multi-node simultaneous resolution with confirmation.
|
|
- Confirmation under contradiction reasoning constraints.
