OPS.16:4.4 - Write a prospective trial WorkPlan

Plan the smallest trial whose observations can change the receiving decision. Name intended tasks, proposed performers, admitted constituent Methods expected to be enacted, supports, protected conditions, observations, burdens, stop rules, hand-back, and later receiving uses. Keep the plan prospective and identify the interval during which its premises must remain current.

A compact plan can use these positions:

PositionWhat to state
status-preserved subjectExact admitted Method and relied-on description, or exact candidate account and its missing admission basis
operating questionCurrent use, proposed change, comparison, decision maker, and decision-changing observation
intended WorkTasks, proposed performers, expected admitted constituent Methods, containing System, and temporal window
conditions and stopsAuthority, permission, support, service, recovery, human protection, fallback, and hand-back
observationsDirect subjects, measures or descriptions, collection point, burden, and later receiving use
returnDecision branches, unsupported stronger uses, next observation, and reopen condition

This is a writing aid rather than a new trial object. A.15.2 governs the WorkPlan. The plan is neither performed Work nor evidence that the candidate whole or changed Method was enacted.
