EAM.12:1 - Problem frame

Use this pattern when an asset recommendation or decision must combine specialist answers. Finance reports affordability, maintenance recommends an intervention and operation offers an outage, but somebody must determine whether those answers concern the same option and whether the decision lies within their authority.

Begin with the result requested: advice, an asset choice or authorization. Give the recipient a supported answer at that scope. Delivering adequate advice can complete the request for advice before an authorizing decision exists.
