A.11.OP:4.1 - Name the use and nearest substantive horizon

  1. Name the proposed requirement and the declared use for which mandatory status is being considered.
  2. End the horizon at the nearest named substantive decision, receiving use, selected transformation result, assurance use, or recovery use that can justify the requirement.
  3. Name the possible result or removal consequence that reaches that horizon. Do not use the requirement’s own status, completion flag, receipt, or other administrative transition as its receiver.

The nearest substantive horizon is not necessarily the next event. It may include a later decision when the dependency from the present result to that decision is stated. End it before any further use whose receiver and dependency have not been named.
