This flow is explanatory.

The exact predicate set depends on:

* applicable protocol version,
* domain profile,
* Authority Object,
* consequence class,
* and required verification conditions.

The non-compensatory rule does not vary:

> **A failed mandatory condition cannot be repaired by unrelated favorable signals.**
