Labelsqueeze
Flag a one-label classification forced onto an object whose relevant properties point to several categories
Definition
Mechanism
When a classification must assign one label, as a Route to one handler or an exclusive partition like MECE does, and the object's relevant properties point to more than one category, the mismatch is flagged. The flag lists each candidate category with the properties that point to it. If one label is still assigned, the record states what the other categories would have triggered.
Invariants
- The flag lists each candidate category with the properties pointing to it.
- If a single label is assigned anyway, the record states what the other labels would have triggered.
Risks
Failure modes
Silent forcing
the object gets one label and the properties pointing elsewhere are dropped.
Label inflation
every object is flagged, and the classification stops discriminating.
