E.23.CDI:4.2 - Apply the Method

1. Start from an evidence-backed account of the domain Methods needed for the named Work and how their contributions relate.
2. Name the operating envelope and the qualification window or currentness condition that can change whether the Work succeeds.
3. State the current capability baseline and desired result before choosing an intervention: the decision-bearing current measures and evidence, the desired measures or success predicate, and the trade-offs that must remain protected. The desired result is a target for later evaluation, not an established current ability or an actual change.
4. Find the contribution that is missing, limiting, or poorly coordinated.
5. Choose an intervention directed at that limitation, and name any provider System on which the intervention relies. The intervention may use, for example, practice, coaching, adaptation, tooling, changed support, or a changed Method; the receiving domain supplies the actual choice.
6. Carry the protected conditions into the chosen intervention. Keep the selected intervention or plan separate from any development Work that is later performed.
7. Declare a transfer check that tests the stated target in representative Work under the relevant operating conditions. When that check is performed, keep the transfer Work, its evidence and result, and the resulting capability statement or currentness assessment separate. An exercise, description, publication, attendance record, or provider delivery is not that transfer check.
8. Reopen the Method account, holder boundary, baseline, target, intervention, protected conditions, or currentness claim when the transfer evidence shows that the earlier account was wrong, incomplete, or no longer current.
