MMP-OBSERVATION-TO-ACTION - Turn an observing model into a workable instruction

• Situation: A proposed way of working includes an observation followed by a decision, but their combined benefit is unclear.
• Question: What instruction can use that report, and which change to the work is worth making?
• First useful result or blocker: An instruction with its required information, timing and supported performance, or a contribution still needed before it can be used.
• Start with: MMP.8 to formulate the choice; MMP.7 when its reporting law is missing; ME.7 when the observing and acting methods must be combined or changed.
• Stop or return: Use a sufficient instruction. A changed recording procedure reopens the observation model; changed timing, allowed choices or success requirements reopen the decision. Use C.11.DUA when the benefit of further inquiry is uncertain.

Worked connection for MMP-OBSERVATION-TO-ACTION

A noisy report and a changed success requirement. The observing and acting methods are examined together through ME.7 in Method Engineering.

Start with what successful work means. In MMP.8:5.2, one of two requests needs a scarce resource, and allocation must follow a report. With perfect timely information, an instruction can follow the report. Without a distinguishing report, each fixed allocation fails in one admitted circumstance.

For the noisy procedure, MMP.7 supplies a necessary intermediate result. Two channels may produce the report, but the record does not identify the channel. Sum over that unrecorded choice to obtain the reporting law for each actual circumstance. MMP.8:5.2 performs this calculation: following the report succeeds with probabilities 0.8 and 0.7 in the two circumstances. No prior probability for which circumstance is actual is needed for those conditional results.

Now construct what can be done with that report. MMP.8 compares the four deterministic instructions on a two-valued report. A requirement of at least 0.65 success in each circumstance admits following it. A zero-failure requirement does not. Changing the requirement to average success, with one circumstance occurring with probability 0.95, makes always allocating to that request preferable among the four instructions. The preferred instruction changed because the question changed; the observing procedure stayed the same.

Return this answer to the proposed work. The report must be produced before allocation, and the receiving participant must be able to follow the instruction. If obtaining a better report costs more than the improvement is worth, C.11.DUA can support a sufficient existing choice or acceptance of the remaining risk. If the observation itself changes the situation, first represent that intervention through C.28.MR and derive the reporting and outcome laws for the changed situation.

ME.7:4.1 helps examine the proposed composition: what each method contributes, how the report reaches the acting participant, and which timing and support conditions the whole needs. Its result can be a supported composition or a proposal with unresolved conditions. Retain the resource demands and timing when revising the mathematical question. The useful result is a change the work can perform, a supported explanation of why the present method suffices, or the specific contribution still needed to choose.
