SOTA-PORTFOLIO — Move from a plural field to the cheapest useful result

• Situation: A project needs the modern field of approaches rather than one popular answer and may later need maintained domain guidance.
• Question: What plural view is adequate now, and does the remaining problem call for reuse, a contribution, another product, a DPF or LPF, or no maintained result?
• First useful result or blocker: One source-linked SoTA view, live option set, reuse route, framework decision, or exact missing scope or maintenance basis.
• Mantra: Name the practical question, scope, freshness need, and rival traditions. Build a source-linked plural view; preserve disagreement, source-use limits and constructions; compare useful approaches; try cheaper reuse or contribution first; open a framework decision only for a recurring unmet problem; author and test the needed patterns; refresh when the field or use changes.
• Start with: G.2; add C.18, C.19, or G.5 for the set and the E.4/E.9 authoring route only if a framework is selected.
• Stop or return: Stop at the first adequate maintained or one-off result. If allocation to familiar patterns loses a source’s construction, use FPF.Preface:16.5 to identify the missing result, obtain it through the appropriate subject method and return to the original use. A source pack or proposal is not a framework by appearance.
