B.5.PI:4.1 - Give the work an occasion to become a question

Select a bounded occasion that does not depend on someone first reporting trouble. At an ordinary handover, for example, ask the producer to show one result and how its recipient will use it. Recover what the producer actually had to do, including work that the official account omits. In preparing your own work, follow one result through its intended use instead of merely checking that you have produced it.

Choose an occasion with some prospect of a useful comparison: a consequential decision, a result passed to another person, a recurrent activity whose effort is poorly understood, or an available contrasting case. A small agreed sample can expose something that reviewing only failures would miss. Do not require every occurrence to undergo this examination. Keep the immediate work and its constraints in view.

A performer may adopt this as a habit; a teacher, team or tool maintainer may make it available through A.15.11. For example, an existing handover conversation can include “Show what the recipient can do with this, and what you had to add to make that possible.” This question does not anticipate a specific error. A publication alone does not establish the habit or supply the conversation. If access to the result, its use or an attentive participant is unavailable, identify that missing contribution rather than claim that inquiry has begun.
