C.40.CD:4.5 - Use the result to choose the next problem

Use a sufficient result and stop this development. Otherwise follow the part of the outcome that can change receiving work:

  • A partial result can support a narrower use while another condition remains open.
  • A failure witness can support a revised problem, a necessary-condition question or a justified change of operation.
  • A successful new construction can support a further question about changed inputs, composition or use.
  • A missing contribution can direct a bounded inquiry or specialist request when its attainable answer warrants the effort.

For each continuation, state what it would permit and which earlier requirement it answers, changes or leaves open. A problem constructed for exploration can be retained for a later possible use without claiming present demand. Its interest lies in the further reasoning or action it may enable.

Retain the actual material and explanation needed to continue. Compare the prospective gain with the cost of the attempt, adaptation and retention, including displaced work. C.11.DUA helps when the value of further information work is unsettled. Close an unwarranted branch without discarding an earlier qualified use of its source method.
