GOALS.7:4.2 - Match the undertaking to the actual configuration

Establish the available tools, context, sources, memory or persisted work, compute limits and any required competence or independence. Use suitable existing evidence for the task and consequence. If a capability is uncertain and that uncertainty could change the arrangement, obtain a proportionate check or use a qualified alternative. A present result from another configuration supports only what its conditions permit.

Allocate work by contributions: the agent may perform substantive analysis and authorized execution; a human or another system supplies only the decisions, expertise, participation or independent judgement actually needed. Account for source retrieval, checking, correction and recipient attention as well as generation. A human need not supervise every reversible operation if the required guarantees and authority support competent autonomous performance.

When the task includes human learning, use GOALS.6 to preserve the human operation and evidence separately. If the desired result is only the delivered artifact, compare competent direct provision with the additional burden of making the human reproduce its construction.
