Model publication preference per gift
Synthetic donor Jo supplies gift G1 with anonymous recognition and G2 with the supplied name “Jo”. The local publication rule follows each gift’s recorded choice. Jo’s profile name cannot override G1. The worksheet concerns this fictional recognition output and does not supply a legal basis for other data use.
| Constraint | Required record | Example decision rule |
|---|---|---|
| Preference key | Gift ID + supplied recognition choice | G1 and G2 remain independent |
| Published label | Anonymous label or supplied name | G1 does not use profile Jo |
| Unknown choice | No default from contact profile | Hold recognition until clarified |
Test two gifts from the same donor
| Case | Input | Expected decision |
|---|---|---|
| G1 | Anonymous selected | Use anonymous recognition |
| G2 | Name Jo supplied for publication | Use Jo for G2 only |
- Read gift identity
- Read that gift’s choice
- Prepare matching public label
- Verify no profile fallback leaked in
A later profile rename does not automatically revise historical gift publication preferences.
How many of G1 and G2 may use the name Jo under these records?
