CB.2:4.7 - Recognise returns and assurance limits
| What the exchange establishes | Next useful move |
|---|---|
| Useful result, acceptable burden, and willing continuation | Keep the working arrangement and change only a demonstrated obstacle. |
| A relevant question, but no willing capable contributor | Revise the request or terms, obtain another supplier, or return the offer to CB.1. |
| A helpful discussion, but no evidence of application yet | Preserve the useful discussion result and the unanswered application question. |
| Conflicting advice with no available deciding basis | Return the technical or evidential question to a qualified domain contributor; keep the disagreement intelligible. |
| Results depend on organising work that exceeds available support | Reduce scope, redistribute accepted contributions, fund the required work or stop the unsupported promise. |
| A resource or individual service would answer the recurring need more directly | Use that route and retain only the mutual activity that still adds value. |
For stronger claims, obtain the evidence that claim requires. A useful answer is not proof of learning; a few useful exchanges are not a causal estimate of programme benefit; a successful small activity does not establish available capacity at a larger scale.
