DV Quick Run Mini RCA (Experimental)

Question: What operational explanation best fits the observed cross-environment differences?

Subject: Account · DEV-MOCK → SIT-MOCK

Mini RCA is experimental, deterministic, and evidence-backed. Explain assists. Evidence decides.

Executive Summary

No dominant contributor confirmed

DVQR analysed DEV-MOCK → SIT-MOCK and found Automation Participation to be the strongest bounded explanation. The conclusion remains bounded to the available evidence.

Investigation Readiness · Advisory

Ready

The supplied evidence is ready for bounded synthesis; readiness does not certify truth or root cause.

PostureReady

Confidence EffectPreserve

Synthesized ConfidenceMedium → Medium

No canonical readiness gaps were identified.

Readiness is advisory and does not certify truth, causality, completeness, remediation, or operational authority.

Investigation Objective

Explain the operational pattern most consistent with the available understanding evidence for Account.

Experimental Boundary

Mini RCA is experimental and advisory. It does not prove exact change time, root cause, remediation status, deployment correctness, or operational authority.

Investigation Story

Mini RCA reviewed 32 normalised Cross-Diff evidence references for DEV-MOCK → SIT-MOCK.

No contributor meets the dominance threshold. Automation Participation and Metadata Evolution are the strongest patterns, but evidence remains distributed across several material areas and only 0 explicit relationships were identified.

Automation Participation ranks at 60% and Metadata Evolution at 50% (lead margin 10 points); the outcome is non-dominant.

Evidence confidence is 48% and correlation confidence is 0%; differences remain participation evidence rather than causal proof.

Use the original Cross-Environment Diff report as the source-of-truth for source/target values, provider semantics, and remediation decisions.

Category (accountcategorycode) Is Audit Enabled changed
Account Change Tracking Enabled changed: false → true
Account Audit Enabled changed: false → true

View linked evidence (3 visible observations; 3 technical references)

Category (accountcategorycode) Is Audit Enabled changed — Observed column metadata differs across snapshots. Review the captured metadata and verify externally before drawing deployment or schema conclusions. This property is treated as a higher-signal column metadata change because it can affect query, create/update, or lookup interpretation.
Account Change Tracking Enabled changed: false → true — Entity change tracking configuration differs across snapshots. Change tracking may affect integration, synchronization, and delta-observation behaviour, but DVQR does not infer runtime impact or remediation scope.
Account Audit Enabled changed: false → true — Entity auditing configuration differs across snapshots. Auditing drift may affect future change-history evidence availability, but DVQR treats this as metadata configuration evidence only.

Evidence Correlation

How the available evidence relates

These relationships are produced from explicit deterministic rules. They connect existing evidence; they do not create evidence or assert causation.

0 supports 0 reinforces 0 limits 0 contradicts

No deterministic relationships were identified between the available evidence.

This does not weaken the investigation; it indicates that the available observations were independent.

Next Investigation

Recommended Next Steps

Collect the evidence that most limits confidence

Cross-environment drift identifies differences but does not prove that a difference caused runtime behaviour.

Runtime impact is not observed materially limits recommendation confidence.

Investigate the strongest contributor candidates separately

Start with Automation Participation and Metadata Evolution; validate each contributor independently because the current evidence does not support a single dominant explanation.

The evidence distribution is non-dominant, so difference volume must not be converted into causal certainty.

Evidence: Account Address Normalisation changed · Account Consent Reminder Dispatch changed · Account Create Validation plugin state changed (Enabled → Disabled) · Category (accountcategorycode) Is Audit Enabled changed · Account Change Tracking Enabled changed: false → true · Account Audit Enabled changed: false → true

Review cross-cutting environment context separately

Treat environment-wide configuration, identity, solution, automation, and operational-profile differences as context unless an explicit subject dependency is available.

14 cross-cutting or environment-wide evidence references should not compete equally with subject-local structural findings.

Review reconstruction candidates by capability

Use only evidence families that map to a DV ForgeLab reconstruction utility; Mini RCA guides investigation and does not perform remediation.

13 reconstruction-oriented evidence references are available.

Evidence: Likely corresponding identity: service_account_dev → service_account_sit · human.operator.dev@example.com present only in source · service_perf_msi present only in target · Category (accountcategorycode) Is Audit Enabled changed · Customer Size option added: Enterprise (1000000)

Retrieve Audit evidence where available

Attach Audit or change-sequence evidence for the leading cross-environment candidates, where available.

Audit or equivalent change-history evidence was not supplied: This limits sequence and actor attribution where those questions are material.

Keep the conclusion bounded to the available evidence

Verify the leading pattern against runtime, deployment, Audit, or operational evidence before making remediation decisions.

Recommendations guide the next investigation step; they do not prove root cause or authorise a change.

This ManyToOne relationship (account → systemuser) exists in the source snapshot but is missing in the target. Relationship drift can occur when lookup fields or relationship metadata are removed, renamed, added, or changed between snapshots. DVQR treats this as high-signal metadata evidence because relationships can affect lookup/navigation/traversal interpretation, but it does not infer deployment causality, runtime impact, or remediation scope.

This ManyToOne relationship (account → new_customersegment) appears in the target snapshot but was not present in the source.
