OCE.14:4.2 - Choose the smallest revision subject that answers the problem
Decide what kind of result is actually missing.
| Current difficulty | First useful return |
|---|---|
| A selected arrangement has not yet been made usable. | OCE.9 and the direct assignment, access, support or professional owner supply realization conditions; revision is needed only if the selection itself must change. |
| A known local participation, leadership or service defect has a sufficient correction. | Use OCE.10, OCE.11, OCE.12 or the actual operating owner. |
| An organization premise or relation no longer fits the contribution or conditions. | Continue here with bounded organization-revision alternatives. |
| The reusable OCE Method lacks a needed move or no longer fits. | Return the specific problem and evidence to OCE.15 and Method Engineering. |
| Direction, investment or another external commitment is now the real question. | Return that question to its owner; preserve the organization facts it needs. |
Smallest does not mean cosmetic. Change enough of the arrangement to answer the defeated premise, while keeping useful unaffected contributions visible. If no local revision can meet the intended contribution and constraints, return the larger question explicitly.
A missing observation may justify a bounded inquiry instead of a redesign. A qualified risk may justify an authorized protective action before all explanations are settled. Preserve which of these is the current reason.
