B.5.PI:4.5 - Obtain a continuation that can actually be used

Choose what is missing now: an existing answer, one discriminating comparison, accessible expertise, a capability to develop, or a larger inquiry. Judge the effort against what the answer could change in the encompassing work. C.11.DUA examines burdens imposed by advice; C.11.CRC compares an attainable change with continuing as now. They help choose an intervention, not decide whether a participant is allowed to voice an unresolved concern.

Carry an answer back to the receiving use. Does it let the recipient act, understand or ask a better question? If a small comparison can discriminate between plausible explanations, make that comparison before prescribing a larger change. If the performer understands the needed action but cannot execute it, obtain support or a suitable learning method; repeating the question does not develop the capability.

If no worthwhile improvement is available, retain the current adaptation with its relevant conditions. If inquiry cannot be afforded or a needed observation is inaccessible, say what remains unknown and what that means for the current use. Inability to investigate does not certify adequacy. A retained cue and an available later occasion can be the bounded result. Where consequences require a decision now, obtain it through the applicable subject and authority rules rather than letting unresolved uncertainty silently authorize continuation.
