case-dependent
Varies by circumstance
Case-dependent describes something whose outcome or behavior varies based on specific circumstances or conditions.
In computing, case-dependent (or case-sensitive) means distinguishing between uppercase and lowercase letters: The password is case-dependent, so "Admin" and "admin" won't both work.
More broadly, anything case-dependent requires knowing the particular situation before determining results.
