IS.3:4.2 - Generate alternatives by changing the obtaining way

Start with the competent current continuation, including its real support and burden. Then vary the operative relation that could change the result. Useful changes include:

• make an existing ability usable by repairing access, time, equipment or authority;
• obtain the decisive contribution from a qualified expert, service or AI;
• develop the intended performer’s ability through an appropriate HCD arrangement;
• make a tacit operation recoverable through an explanation, demonstration or usable tool;
• conduct joint problem solving while knowledge is being developed;
• choose a different target or reduce the promised use when the needed contribution is unavailable.

For each serious alternative, follow one case from input to useful result. Describe the critical action rather than its service label. “The coach asks the reviewer to compare the two source editions, identify the changed claim and explain its effect before offering feedback” specifies a contribution. “Provide coaching” does not.

Keep the actual subject Method intact. A learning designer chooses practice and feedback but does not invent an absent engineering criterion. An implementation facilitator can organize discussion while the participants’ qualified judgement supplies the subject answer. When the Method itself is missing, C.39 and the relevant profession supply its construction; the support strategy records that dependency honestly.

Do not manufacture alternatives whose outcomes cannot change the choice. One adequate way can suffice. More alternatives are useful when they reveal different result, dependence, resource or protection conditions.
