MKT.4:4.2 - Locate the condition that changes the next choice

Distinguish the following difficulties before proposing a remedy:

Observed difficultyWhat to establishUseful response
The person cannot interpret the proposal.What result, cost, required work or limit they currently infer.Explain or repair the offer; return to MKT.2 if its content is inconsistent.
The understood offer is unattractive or unsuitable.Which result, alternative or burden makes it so.Change the contribution or terms, offer another appropriate option, or accept refusal.
Someone cannot make the required commitment.The missing budget, authority, access or other contribution.Obtain the competent participant’s answer or retain a conditional hold.
Transition disrupts valued current work.What must be preserved, moved, learned or recovered on failure.Construct a feasible transition with its responsible suppliers.
The chosen acquisition cannot be completed.The actual failure in quotation, contracting, payment, scheduling or access.Repair that operation without repeating an already sufficient choice.

These conditions can coexist. Resolve one without claiming that the others have disappeared. A missing permission may prevent a trial even after its value and price are understood.
