C.39.QR:4.6 - Put the return into ordinary work
Use the questions where a difference in their answers can change the work:
- Before a consequential decomposition or representation choice, recover the original question and the contribution expected from the smaller work.
- At a scope-changing inference or handover, establish what the partial result warrants and what the recipient still needs.
- Before a whole-result judgement, compare actual content and joint conditions with the original requirement.
- After an interruption or a changed condition, recover the affected connection and continue from it.
C.41.OF arranges the occasion, access and competent participation. C.41.UA connects obtaining an answer, deciding what to do and performing the action. Keep the subject material and these operations available at that occasion; a remembered slogan may be insufficient when several relations are being traversed.
Use another suitably competent reader when independence or an unprompted initial judgement is needed. Give that reader the original question and necessary subject grounds before earlier verdicts or a suggested defect. Freshness can expose an inherited narrowing; domain competence supplies the grounds for the expectation. Select the arrangement by the judgement required, and reuse sound prior results at their actual scope.
For recovery after interruption, A.15.10 returns the purpose, operative method, established results, unfinished work and changed conditions to a useful continuation. For people and AI agents, examine separately recognition of this difficulty, performance of the relevant operations, and benefit in the receiving work. Reopen the aid when it repeatedly fails to expose a consequential loss or creates work without improving the answer.
