HCD.2:4.2 - Compose Task-Closing Candidates

1. Select representative complete tasks. State the required result, important variants, critical errors, Work products, conditions, and stopping rules. A topic or Method name is only a discovery cue.
2. Decompose only far enough to allocate contributions. For every material contribution, state what the person must recognize and perform, what may be retrieved from a current reference, what controlled AI help may supply, and what requires a specialist or other provider. Keep the human check required for assisted output explicit.
3. Separate prerequisites from simultaneous complements. A prerequisite must be available before the relevant practice can proceed. A reference, tool, or specialist contribution may instead remain part of the same later Work. Do not teach every complement as if it had to become unaided personal performance.
4. Construct finite changes from the baseline. Add, substitute, remove, or retain programme elements relative to the person’s current configuration. Explain which task combination each change is intended to close, which future option it opens, and which existing contribution it might displace or weaken.
5. Include the complete development loop. Account for preparation, demonstrations or explanations where useful, representative attempts, feedback, correction, retries, changed-condition or later checks, and the access and provider contributions that make those activities possible.
6. Keep downstream elaboration explicit. HCD.5 can select the development Methods, HCD.6 can design the practice tasks, HCD.7 can establish available support, HCD.8 can compare obtaining or building a missing contribution and establish the preparation or operating test the selected route needs, and HCD.9–HCD.10 can specify practice and progression. HCD.2 needs enough of those contributions to make a candidate comparable; it does not pretend that an unperformed elaboration already exists.

Recover the relevant vertical within each complete task, using FPF B.1.5.EW when the connections are unclear. Ask what the person or available contributors must perform together while the encompassing work is under way. Adequate performance of isolated constituents can leave their coordination unavailable. Keep already attained contributions and include development only for the missing or insufficiently transferable ones. Include the variety of constituent Methods that the intended task variants require; a single rehearsed path may leave the person unable to choose a different continuation. Check shared time, attention, equipment and assistance as a combined demand rather than counting the same available resource separately for every part.

For example, in a stipulated dance case, strength and recall of the figure are adequate but balance during rotation is not. A programme adds suitable rotational-coordination practice and return to the figure under varied relevant conditions; it need not repeat the already mastered strength and recall work. HCD.3 distinguishes that gap from other causes, HCD.6 designs the practice and HCD.10 distributes its variation. A domain practitioner supplies the exercise and performance criterion.
