ECO.8:4.3 - Carry the boundary into the work

Describe who can act under which relation during the actual work. The same participant may cooperate personally in one matter and negotiate a paid service in another. Keep the change of relation recognizable enough to avoid an unintended promise.

When the result depends on a vertical of methods, show the constituent operations and the encompassing method they help enact. For example, checking a supplier’s terms may be part of arranging a service that is part of developing a venture. The supplier’s separately performed service is connected by the agreement; it does not become a constituent operation of the buyer’s method merely because it is needed.

Return the adjustment or the remaining coordination problem. Use OCE or CGOV only when the chosen answer actually changes organizational or corporate arrangements.
