ECO.7:4.1 - Recover the resource and the actions that affect it

Identify the resource, the useful units or services obtained, the relevant condition and the time over which it can change. Distinguish taking a unit from providing or restoring the resource. Ask whose actions affect availability, quality or renewal, including parties outside the initial user group.

Use the physical or operating account already available. When its limits matter, obtain the required contribution from PHY, MMP or OPS. A stated allocation cannot enlarge a physical flow. Equally, a model of flow does not settle who is entitled to use it.

Determine what access, exclusion and withdrawal rights already hold. Separate those from actual control and practice. A proposed change must be adopted through the applicable arrangements; the analyst’s allocation is not itself an effective rule.
