A stated care model becomes prong rows

The stated classroom model has risk, precaution, and custom rows. It is a trace model, not a tort result.

Example mixed fact states

The toy facts mark risk as present, leave precaution unknown, and mark custom as conflicted.

The trace keeps each row separate

A stated reasonable-care classroom rule is traced as rows. The trace has 3 rows, 1 satisfied row, and 1 unknown row.

Summary

A breach-standard trace is useful when it exposes known, unknown, and conflicting facts without collapsing them into advice.
