DOCA.8:1 - Problem Frame

Use this when something relied on by a development opportunity, direction, path, or advising engagement changes, and a practitioner needs to know what can still be used. The change may concern the subject, receiving use, horizon, characteristic, contribution, support, resource, permission, evidence, or an enabling step.

Begin with the changed premise and the particular opportunity claim that used it. Compare the earlier and current conditions and return the useful result they support. Obtain new qualification only when a stronger current use needs it and its attainable contribution warrants acquisition. The first useful result is an unchanged, narrowed, blocked, revised, or retired contribution for a stated use, with its affected downstream return.

This is application-specific requalification shared by Construction and Advising. It does not revise an entire framework merely because one client’s circumstances changed. A changed recommendation uses PSD.14’s follow-up question; changed source-currentness or publication work retains its direct owner.

Ordinary non-use boundary. Reuse a current result when no material premise or receiving use changed. A new filename, link, date label, or layout alone does not require reconstructing opportunities. If the current question is only one source’s currentness, use G.11; if it is one already-known evidence reliance, use A.10 and the direct subject guidance. Do not create an indefinite monitoring service to answer a bounded change.
