Diagnostic Access

Diagnostic Access surfaces the evidence gap layer identified by a LENS Assessment. It is triggered by an INVESTIGATE decision state.

The assessment identifies structural unknowns but does not expose them in the executive artifact. Diagnostic Access is the governed layer that names them — each unknown dimension identified, each scope gap described by the evidence type that is absent, each responsible system area located.


What it produces

Diagnostic zone inventory. A deterministic inventory of unknown structural dimensions, derived from the canonical topology and signal registry. Not inferred. Derived from what the evidence set directly supports.

Per-dimension classification. Each unknown dimension is named, classified, and assigned severity and confidence based on structural evidence.

Scope gap description. For each dimension: the evidence type that is absent — the specific information that would move it from unknown to confirmed.

Diagnostic Narrative. An HTML export with the structural evidence topology for the assessed zone.


Boundary constraint

All outputs are bounded to what the evidence set directly supports. Diagnostic Access does not produce inferences about root causes, resolution paths, or forward projections. This constraint applies to all outputs and all interaction modes.


When it applies

Diagnostic Access follows a LENS Assessment that concluded with an INVESTIGATE decision state. It names and bounds the investigation. It does not resolve it — resolution requires targeted evidence collection or escalation to Enterprise Access.
