DOCA.1:4.6 - Select the first missing result

Ask which result would most change useful progress at the declared effort:

  • a development-facing characterization from DOCA.1.CHR;
  • materially different search leads from DOCA.2;
  • a worthwhile problem and proposed contribution from DOCA.3;
  • an admissible advising question or blocker from DOCA.7;
  • a qualified result from a holder, evidence, safety, legal, professional, engineering, organization, operations, strategy, research, or other direct owner; or
  • an honest stop because the existing opportunity or option set is already sufficient.

Start there. Publication order does not require all earlier PatternIDs to be used, and using this pattern does not create a lifecycle.
