Description

Qualify an explicit consultation reply topic code.

Policy analysis depends on declared eligibility bounds, reference periods, indicator direction and resource denominators. A linear phase-in or household weight is an explicit scenario assumption. A preferred-direction change, age predicate or cost contribution does not establish policy effectiveness, causal impact, actual eligibility or the governing legal rule.

Qualify an explicit consultation reply topic code.

When to use this tool

Use Consultation Reply Topic Tag when you already have consultationId, replyId, suppliedTopicCode and need to qualify an explicit consultation reply topic code.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter consultationId, replyId, suppliedTopicCode. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read token. Use the output convention below.

Enter consultationId, replyId, suppliedTopicCode using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1

  "input": {

    "suppliedTopicCode": "TOP2"
  },
  "output": {

  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

  • The result records supplied values without classifying content or inferring support. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
  • 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.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use the full eligibility or phase-in rule and its source when evaluating a real policy record. For effectiveness questions, use a study design that addresses the comparator, timing and population; local costs or direction flags alone do not supply that evidence.
