Before constructing an interacting coefficient, specify:
the action, density representatives, field parametrization, gauge fixing, graded signs, and inverse normalization;
the background, equations, configuration domains, initial or final data, and gauge-parameter support class;
one preparation prescription, a fixed , its switch , and the compact observation smearing;
the quantum two-point product data and their transport, separately from the physical state;
the bare relational observable and its complete expansion;
interaction switches and perturbative-order conventions;
the output space, topology, equation quotient, and any representation domain;
admissible bulk, insertion, preparation, and switch counterterms, with their coherence and descent relations;
the exact symmetry identity and its normalization conditions;
any ultraviolet regularization, cutoff-removal limit, and intended observable-level matching theorem.
A measurement claim also requires the separately specified instrument and surviving-output interface of def:targets.
