Connect the roles in Filter Rows with WHEREKeep candidate rows, filter predicate, input value, and filtered result as separate roles.
Connect the roles in Filter Rows with WHEREA topic-specific model connects four distinct roles used to reason about filter rows with where.
Table rowsTable supplies the candidate records
Filter conditionCondition tests status and priority
Input valueData matches the stored column type
Filtered resultResult keeps only matching ticket rows
Verify Predicate inspectionConnect predicate inspection with its topic-specific inspection, expected outcome, and protected database boundary.
