A.15.9:4.2 - Return the first result in ordinary language

For a small reversible use, give the answer directly and retain only what its recipient needs to interpret it. For example: “Use the published cutoff for employee items. Keep the contractor submission date unchanged; that source does not cover the contractor batch.” This completes the present answer without a request or a statement explaining why no request was made.

When acquisition has been selected under §4.1, a compact request may read:

For [receiving decision], answer [smallest result question] about [subject and configuration] for [window and use]. State the supported result, a bounded objection, or the exact blocker; do not decide the receiving question for us.

Do not add a field merely because it appears in a larger case. Add the supplier, Method, performer, Work, evidence, authority, acceptance, or reopen detail only when it changes or supports the receiving use.
