Description
Return consent-purpose counts and requested omissions.
Applied-ethics records capture supplied permissions, disclosures, criteria and time or cost assumptions. A checklist, Boolean condition or numerical margin can reveal a local inconsistency without determining ethical acceptability, valid consent or lawful authority. Context, evidence and the interests of affected people remain essential.
Return consent-purpose counts and requested omissions.

}Limitations and assumptions
- Counts do not establish informed consent, semantic purpose compatibility, withdrawal status or lawful processing.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
