C.36.RP:4.1 - Start with work worth sustaining or opening

Name a situation in which participants need to obtain or apply knowledge, make something, intervene, decide or investigate. Identify what has changed or what discovery could open useful work. Take an existing example, a recent failure or an intended variation that makes the need concrete.

For a continuing activity, recover which result must still be obtainable and what the receiver must be able to do with it. For development, identify the promising construction or operation and an attainable way to explore it. A present clue can justify retaining a method before its eventual application is known.

Bound the effort by this use. If the existing arrangement already supplies the needed contribution, use it and stop. A suspected limitation matters here when it can change the receiving work or a selected development opportunity.
