OPS.16:4.1 - Fix the operating question and status branch

Name the operating System, Work family or service, current difficulty, receiving decision, decision maker, horizon, and protected conditions. Then select the branch from evidence already available; the desired outcome does not select it.

Starting branchRequired identityFirst decision-facing statement
admitted MethodExact U.Method, exact relied-on Method version or separately classified U.MethodDescription, current operating use, maintained claim, and evidence windowWhat local adopt, revise, branch, stop, or further observation decision could this evidence support?
pre-admission candidateExact A.3.1.MR candidate-account episteme for the provisionally distinguished reusable way, source support, real rivals, gaps, use limits and explicit non-admission; a distinguishing question only when it changes useWhich identity-test, account-revision, comparison, stop or selected further-observation result can this basis support?

A candidate label such as “v2”, a checklist, a repeated local habit, or a repository entry does not move the second row into the first. Independently apply A.3.1 to admit a Method and A.3.2 to classify a separate description episteme. If those results are unavailable, retain the candidate branch.
