HCD.3:4.2 - Compare Decision-Changing Rivals
Include at least the branches that remain plausible and would change the next Work:
| Rival branch | Question that keeps it live |
|---|---|
| demand or envelope | Is the demand specified correctly and inside the capability envelope being relied upon? |
| applicability, access, expression, adaptation, or enactment | Is the response unavailable, or does a cue, context, interference, configuration, or performer arrangement prevent selection or use? |
| Method or description | Is the target Method missing, stale, disputed, or inapplicable? |
| tools and supports | Are AI, information, cues, access, environment, workload, recovery, or another support condition limiting? |
| assignment and organization | Is assignment, permission, authority, coordination, organization, provider access, or a required specialist result missing? |
| specialist condition | Does health, disorder, safety, ethics, law, or another specialist condition require its direct owner? |
| human change target | Does the evidence support a particular capability, knowledge, skill, discrimination, misconception, behaviour, self-regulation, or commitment as limiting and changeable? |
| measurement artefact | Could a scoring, recording, or interpretation error explain the poor indicator without the corresponding failure in Work? |
Do not expand the set with every imaginable explanation. Include a branch when a credible current value or absence makes it decision-changing.
Too few or poorly linked observations, coupled conditions, contamination, or unsafe collection can prevent this comparison from distinguishing the live branches. Narrow the conclusion or give a non-training return that names the evidence limit, the next needed observation, and safe conditions for obtaining it.
Look for a missing intermediate performance, not just an absent basic skill or an unknown whole procedure. Use FPF B.1.5.EW to recover the relevant constituent–whole connections. In a stipulated dance case, the person has sufficient strength, holds the axis when stationary and recalls the figure, but loses balance during its rotation. Those observations locate a coordination question between the muscular actions and the figure; they do not establish a general lack of strength or memory. If existing observations already distinguish the decision-changing rivals, use them. Otherwise choose a suitable comparison of the rotation in isolation and in the figure, under domain-qualified conditions. Return the supported limitation or the unresolved alternative rather than prescribing more of whichever exercise is easiest to name.
