How is a change of circumstances different from correcting a field?

**Is this workflow just record editing?**

No. A customer can change the facts on which an earlier decision depended. In a financial services environment, a customer reports reduced income while application `APP-2187` is awaiting completion. Replacing the income field records the new fact, but it does not establish whether the application can continue under the supplied assessment policy.

**What should the environment require next?**

The agent may need to mark the previous assessment as requiring review, pause a dependent completion task and request the evidence specified by the policy. The customer update and the assessment outcome should remain separate pieces of state. Otherwise, an agent could accidentally treat an unassessed declaration as an approved decision.

**Why does that matter for training?**

It tests whether the agent recognises that a fact has changed the basis of an existing decision. MirrorFirm could generate linked declarations, assessment versions and pending actions that make this distinction actionable. The central challenge is deciding which prior conclusions still hold, which require reconsideration and what work must wait for that reconsideration.
