OPS.11:4.3 - Recover each decision-changing coupling

For each coupling, state what depends on what, through which relation, under what condition and timing. Keep subject correspondence separate from production, supply, permission, evidence support, commitment or causal influence.

A useful working statement is: “This shipment can use this product only after these required documents are available”; “this test result applies to this configuration”; or “this provider grant permits this resource use during this interval.” Name the basis and responsible decision-maker when reliance on that statement matters.

Distinguish a missing fact from evidence that a proposed relation does not obtain. Missing permission does not establish forbiddenness; it means the action lacks the required permission basis. Conversely, a positive relation claim can still be unusable when an endpoint, scope or time binding is missing.

Follow only the couplings that can change the current decision. If another step is unaffected, leave its details with its own account rather than reconstructing it here.
