ADM.11:4.4 - Arrange continuity and recovery where failure matters

Identify the failure that can defeat the combined result: a missing specialist answer, invalid scope, delayed provider, lost correspondence or uncertain earlier effect. Assign the resolution task to the participant capable and authorized to supply it, with the return needed by the next action.

Preserve independent permitted work. A ready price inquiry may proceed while booking authority is pending. Preserve completed contributions within their supported conditions instead of restarting every provider after a local failure.

For overlapping cases, inspect relevant resource windows, priorities, repeated work and existing commitments. OPS.8 supplies operational joins and protection; OPS.12–13 supply material burden and promise questions. A shared specialist already committed elsewhere is not additional simultaneous capacity.

Unknown external effects require the provider recovery in ADM.9–10 before a potentially duplicate action. The combined service retains a precise unfinished condition even when every internal queue would prefer to close its own item.
