OCE.2:4 - Solution

Recover the smallest evidence-bearing set of actual Work and direct organization relations that can change the decision. Use A.22 to select each structure and the direct FPF or domain governor for each relation. Preserve formal, observed, contradicted, and unknown statuses, evidence provenance, and currentness.

One decision-changing difference between a formal description and observed Work is enough to enter. Support each Work, supply, assignment, authority, access, information-use, transfer, service-provision or coordination claim with evidence appropriate to its meaning and time window.

OCE.2:4.1 - Pattern-Use Unfolding

  1. Bound the recovery use. State organization, contribution, decision, horizon, Work families, selected structures, and exclusions.
  2. Collect sources for the needed claims. These may include charts, position descriptions, policies, decision records, Work products, observations, interviews, provider records and service evidence. State what each can establish.
  3. Recover actual Work and results. For a relied-on Work claim, recover the performers’ A.13 basis and the A.15.1 occurrence basis. Keep plans, routine descriptions, schedules and reports distinct from the Work occurrences they describe. When the basis is incomplete, record the supported observations and the missing basis.
  4. Recover supplied-result and boundary relations. For every relevant path, name supplier and receiver Systems, result or content, direct predicate, conditions, and evidence. Distinguish a contribution supplied, information used, material transferred, decision issued or accepted, service provided, resource accessed, and coordination occurrence.
  5. Recover position-related claims without invention. A current organization position requires its establishment and continuation basis. Otherwise record only the position description, expected contribution, eligible system-role kinds, holder Systems, and assignments that are separately supported. Use A.2.1 for obtaining assignments.
  6. Recover authority, responsibility, resources, and access. Name each direct relation. Record a blocker instead of inferring authority or access from hierarchy, responsibility, budget, or tool presence.
  7. Compare formal and observed claims. State agree, contradict, unknown, or changed-window for each decision-changing pair. Ask what result and consequence the difference has; do not call it dysfunction by default.
  8. Inspect participation and consequences. Identify whose Work and burden are absent, which affected-System questions remain open, and which sensitive claims require protection or specialist handling.
  9. Stop at the decision boundary. Return the account, gaps, and constraints when they are enough to generate concepts or expose a blocker. Do not design the target inside the baseline.
  10. Reopen from evidence. Reopen the smallest Work or relation claim when a new occurrence, source edition, participant account, provider condition, authority decision, or service result defeats it.

OCE.2:4.2 - Record the Result

Result positionRequired content
use boundaryOrganization, contribution, receiving decision, horizon, selected structures, and exclusions.
source evidenceSource or observation, claim kind, scope/window, sensitivity, and evidential limit.
actual WorkSupported occurrences, performers and their A.13 basis, enacted Methods, time intervals, conditions, containing Systems, associated results and limits; otherwise the observations and unresolved occurrence claim.
supplied results and boundary relationsParticipants, direct predicate, result/content/resource, conditions, carrier/support distinction, evidence, and status.
position-related claims and assignmentsPosition establishment/continuation basis when available; otherwise separate description, expected-contribution, eligibility, holder, and assignment facts plus the missing establishment or identity basis.
authority, responsibility, resourcesDirect relations, subjects, scopes, windows, bases, evidence, and blockers.
formal/observed comparisonMatched claims with agree, contradict, unknown, or changed-window and the decision consequence.
participation/consequencesMissing participants, hidden burden, affected-System questions, protection needs, and specialist returns.
returnGrounded account, unresolved gaps, constraints for OCE.3 or OCE.11, stop, and reopen triggers.

OCE.2:4.3 - What Changes in Practice

The organization is no longer represented by one chart. Practitioners can see which Work and relations matter, where formal and observed claims differ, what remains unknown, and which gap must be resolved before a concept or coexistence decision can be trusted.
