- Applying the system to a purpose or context it was not designed, validated or approved for at deployment time. ✓Correct: a secondary or unintended use is exactly the application of the system outside its designed, validated and approved purpose.
- Running the system on a backup server so that service can continue when the primary environment becomes unavailable.Plausible but wrong: this describes failover and redundancy, an availability measure, not use outside the intended purpose.
- Retraining the system on newer data so that its predictive accuracy is preserved as real-world conditions change.Plausible but wrong: retraining is routine maintenance for accuracy, not a change in the purpose for which the system is used.
- Restricting the system to a limited pilot group so that its behavior can be observed before a broader rollout.Plausible but wrong: a limited pilot is a controlled deployment phase, not use of the system beyond its intended context.
The trap
Reading 'secondary use' as any auxiliary technical operation instead of out-of-purpose application. How to remember it
A secondary or unintended use is applying the system beyond the purpose it was designed and approved for.
