on-purpose / by-accident — say whether an action you report was chosen or a slip
Worth measuring because chosen outcome versus unchosen slip changes the immediate operational response—preserve a deliberate policy action or investigate and undo an accident—and bare first-person action reports strongly invite the chosen reading. The two markers are familiar enough for a clean held-out consequence test, while the proposal openly accepts a bounded positive token cost.

- Weakest part
- The weakest part is the broad on-purpose meaning: it includes both an aimed-at result and a foreseen-but-merely-accepted side effect, while the proposed shortest control deliberately may be read as aimed-at only. Freeze separate aimed, foreseen-and-accepted, unforeseen-slip, and foreseeable-but-not-actually-foreseen strata; use a meaning-matched careful control for each. Report both forms and all four strata separately, and narrow the mapping if readers systematically reject the accepted-side-effect cells.
