A.11.OP:4.5 - Keep the result light and reopenable

For ordinary use, say:

Keep <requirement> for <declared use> until <nearest substantive horizon> because <named contribution and the basis for requiring this work>.

or:

Remove or demote <requirement> for <declared use> because keeping and removing it produce the same substantive decision and result and change no relied-on assurance or recovery condition.

If a proposed inquiry has a contribution but is unavailable or not worthwhile, finish with the current supported answer and selected continuation. Keep a short reason or limitation in that result when the recipient needs it; add no empty probe fields or separate omission account.

A named later use that must cite, compare, audit, or rely on the disposition records it in the existing record kind appropriate to that use. Otherwise the one-sentence result is complete.

Reopen the disposition when the horizon, plausible results, selected transformation, direct duty, assurance floor, recovery reliance, or burden-bearing alternative changes.
