Own-account research and development original

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers own-account creation of scientific original knowledge intended for sale without a contract or known buyer at production inception: documented ideas, plans, blueprints or formulas for inventions, products and processes (un-cpc3-originals). It encompasses actual laboratory, computational, field, survey and mixed research routes, not just digital document preparation. Identify the novel question, evidence route and original completion gate. A physical prototype may support the original, but the knowledge asset is the reference output. A patent is neither necessary nor proof of scientific validity.

Exclude commissioned research-service outputs, routine testing, design concepts without a research knowledge objective, mineral exploration results, software originals as standalone software products, general-purpose data products, brands/franchises, literary/artistic originals, broadcasts and downloads. Software and data integral to an identified scientific result stay in its package, with no duplicate standalone output. A downstream industrial design original belongs to its own boundary. Resolve mixed research/design classification from the actual deliverable, not its file extension. Count is a declared production unit, not evidence that unrelated originals perform equivalent functions.

Required qualifiers must accompany the dataset metadata, process notes or reference-flow description. The completed original is not counted once per patent, claim, user, copy or download.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_count	reference product	Number of items 01846770-4cfe-4a25-8ad9-919d8d378345	item	item is the unit display alias of public Item(s), with factor 1. Record one complete declared original using cp_original; do not infer knowledge mass, rights quantity or original count from money or bytes.
energy_interface	all electricity rows	Net calorific value 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66	MJ	cp_energy records measured kWh; use 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ at the identical energy interface. Preserve the public reference property, geography and voltage. GB, CPU hours and network traffic do not themselves measure electricity.
same_original_basis	all inventory rows	Original package count	item	All inventory and collection results use per declared reference flow for this one version. Retain raw kg, MJ and device/service item amounts as numerators; no mass conversion of the knowledge output.

Mass property 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 references mass unit group 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66, with reference kg. Net calorific value references energy unit group 93a60a57-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66, with reference MJ. These units concern specific input/output exchanges, not the intellectual original quantity.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Actual project inception with existing knowledge, specimens and facilities identified; earlier reused original burdens are not assumed zero
starting_condition_role	Foreground collection boundary with linked upstream supplies
product_classification_scope	CPC 3.0 81400
recursive_input_rule	Track reused or purchased research originals once with a matching upstream inventory and an explicit beneficiary ledger; in-house expanded work replaces the corresponding purchased exchange
upstream_dataset_requirement	Actual supplied state, region/year, device configuration, reagent purity, provider work scope and treatment technology; quantify missing layers before a complete lifecycle claim
disclosure	Project start/end, actual methods, failed branches, reused knowledge, make/buy boundaries, materiality and unknown inventories; foreground-only is not complete cradle-to-gate

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
boundary_creation	all processes	Include hypothesis/planning, investigation including failed trials, evidence evaluation, original documentation and attributable facilities through completion. Travel, heating, cooling, instruments, prototypes and consumables actually used must be screened and instantiated as specific exchanges; salaries are not physical flows.	un-cpc3-originals; oecd-frascati-2015; gsf-sci-1-1-0
boundary_routes	investigation	Require an actual method-to-inventory register for every laboratory, pilot, field, survey and computing route. Expand each material, energy carrier, treatment and supported elementary release individually. Listed conditional rows are concrete route entries, not an exhaustive universal experimental recipe; absent route evidence blocks completeness.	oecd-frascati-2015
boundary_research_end	prototypes and pilot plants	Keep research trials resolving uncertainty inside the creation cycle. Separate later routine manufacture and commercial operation; subdivide mixed-use pilot operation and physical products rather than assigning all plant burdens to knowledge.	oecd-frascati-2015
boundary_distribution	original reuse and delivery	Keep reproduction/downloads, later hosting/network delivery, license administration and use of the invention separate from original creation. Declare any initial transfer cutoff explicitly. Reuse must carry the original burden ledger without charging its full creation inventory to every copy.	un-cpc3-originals
boundary_provider	owned and purchased computing	Separate owned measured utilities and device inventory from complete purchased computing services; record actual provider workload, storage and traffic and its documented inventory. A provider service replaces embedded electricity/hardware; missing provider layers stay unknown.	gsf-sci-1-1-0

6. Process Inventory Structure

Process Map

process_id	process_name	inclusion	inclusion_condition	role	quantitative_reference
conception	Research question, hypothesis and plan	required	All originals	foreground creation	per declared reference flow
investigation	Actual investigation and iterations	required	Actual method, including theory, experiments or research data acquisition	foreground creation	per declared reference flow
evaluation	Research evidence evaluation	required	All originals; no requirement for a successful invention	foreground creation	per declared reference flow
consolidation	Documented original completion	required	All originals	reference output	per declared reference flow
infrastructure	Supporting device embodied inventories	conditional	Actual owned devices not included in purchased services	upstream allocated input	per declared reference flow

These stages are workload subdivisions, not four additional originals. Internal evidence and draft transfers cancel when consolidating the project. Any unsupported chemistry, site-water discharge, fuel combustion, cooling leakage or prototype route remains a mandatory inventory-expansion question when actually present; do not import generic manufacturing emissions. A theoretical or social-science original need not consume nitrogen or laboratory water.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
allocation_subdivide	all shared research inputs	First separate project operations and outputs with actual meters, bookings and material issue records. Do not use revenue, patent counts or hoped-for users as default physical shares. Record causal driver and unassigned residual; unknown shared burdens are not zero.	un-cpc3-originals; oecd-frascati-2015; gsf-sci-1-1-0
allocation_compute	shared computing facilities	Use actual measured energy and explainable job/resource/time attribution, including reserved idle capacity and cooling boundary. Energy attribution requires validation against facility meters; storage/traffic metrics are allocation evidence, not universal kWh coefficients.	gsf-sci-1-1-0
allocation_device	server_hardware	Attribute the specific device inventory using reserved time relative to evidenced installed life and reserved resource share. Collect actual device, life and capacity records; no assumed server lifespan. Apply only outside a provider inventory containing the same asset.	gsf-sci-1-1-0
allocation_original	knowledge reuse, failed branches and pilot products	Keep all attributable failed/repeated trials in the bounded original project. Trace reused knowledge and jointly produced originals with a conserved beneficiary ledger; no dilution by unlimited future licenses. Subdivide commercial pilot products and research use using actual physical operation records; unresolved joint attribution needs review.	oecd-frascati-2015; un-cpc3-originals
