How this record may be used in research
Comparison scope: {'eligible_for_narrow_comparison': False, 'fit': 'Procedural remand only; old redacted copy obscures specialty and detailed criteria.', 'caveats': 'Nonprecedent and fact-specific; remand is not approval. Exclude procedural motion decisions from substantive outcomes/criteria aggregation. Older records need legal-temporal review.'}
