ME.1:4.1 - Pattern-Use Unfolding

  1. Name the receiving result and decision. State the result at risk, who will use it, the relevant situation and interval, and what decision the focus will enable.
  2. Recover representative Work. Identify the Work occurrence or intended Work that exposes the difficulty. Use A.15.6 to keep the project System, use, Work, Method, support, and development subjects distinct.
  3. Recover the subjects of the accounts already in use. For each project, process, case, lifecycle, stage, or workflow description, state what its claims concern, their actual or intended status, the question exposed, and the material omissions. Use A.15.6 when the label hides the subject. Keep unlike subjects separate; a claimed view additionally needs its exact viewpoint and E.17.0 conformance result.
  4. Recover Method-status candidates. List Methods already identified under A.3.1, candidate Method accounts, established family facts, local groupings, related Methods, and support or capability alternatives. Preserve their statuses.
  5. Form materially different focus options. Include each plausible one-Method, plurality, relation, and non-Method branch. A renamed package or differently drawn view is not another focus option.
  6. Test family and relation claims. Use G.5 for any maintained family or selector claim and the applicable relation pattern for each direct relation. When no identified whole and obtaining relations exist, retain a relation focus or local grouping rather than a composite.
  7. Choose and record. Use C.11 or a domain decision Method to select one focus for the receiving decision. State rejected options, evidence limits, next useful result, and the observation that reopens the focus.
