OCE.1:4.1 - Pattern-Use Unfolding

  1. Name the receiving decision and first user. State who needs the focus, what decision it enables, the horizon, and what useful result permits a stop.
  2. List materially different organization candidates. Consider a formal entity or unit, an organization spanning cross-boundary Work, or one including providers when each is plausible. Keep a return to a non-organization question available. Use A.1.SCR only when System identity changes the decision.
  3. State the intended outside contribution. Name the receiver, relevant conditions, and supplied result or preserved condition. Keep strategy, value, benefit, and performance as separate questions.
  4. Recover changed Work and capability questions. Name the Work families, result or contribution relations, performer or coordination facts, and capability claims that could change. Do not infer them from a chart, proposed position, plan, or tool.
  5. Name other decision-relevant organization facts. Ask which holder assignments, authority relations, resource-access relations, information-use relations, material transfers, service provisions, coordination occurrences, and participation facts must be recovered next. If a source calls these an “interface”, select the boundary and direct relations before relying on it.
  6. Discover consequence-bearing Systems. Use A.1.CSD from the organization, contribution, affected Work, horizon, and decision. Include employees, providers, customers, products, service Systems, neighboring organizations and other material Systems when supported.
  7. Recover authority and specialist returns. Name the authority subject, decision scope, window, and basis. Return unresolved strategy, governance, legal, safety, labor, operations, engineering, finance, or person-capability results to their owners.
  8. Select, return, and reopen. State the organization, contribution, included questions, affected-System scope, exclusions, rejected candidates, next result, and one observation that reopens the focus.
