No dispute or tie-break procedure

Definition
Written to be quoted. This is the sentence to cite when a counterparty disagrees, not the sentence the tool shows you.
The text does not say what happens when two readers disagree about the outcome: who decides, on what grounds, and within what window. A procedure designed after the first dispute is a procedure designed by the dispute.
Remedy
State the decision-maker and the appeal window before the market opens.
Severity
Wording — clarify before this goes live
Where it comes from
Who decides, and under what constraint?
Sources of truth, oracle and committee structures, appeal windows, halt criteria, and what a venue owes participants when the world refuses to be tidy.
