Not all constraints provide equal analytical value.
Some observations appear important but fail repeated testing. Others receive little initial attention yet consistently survive expansion of scale, additional datasets, and independent verification.
This paper introduces a framework for assigning relative weighting to geological constraints.
The objective is not to establish certainty. The objective is to determine which observations deserve greater influence within a decision-making system.
Within ABC Sequencing, weighting reflects durability rather than preference.
A strong constraint is not necessarily the most dramatic observation.
A strong constraint is the observation that continues contributing useful information after repeated challenge.
Weight should therefore emerge from performance rather than expectation.
This paper establishes a framework for assigning relative importance to geological constraints according to durability, support, and predictive contribution.
