OPS.17:4.4 - Compose compatible moves and state the usable result

Several moves can serve one operation. Readiness-based admission can coexist with case discretion and a reliability stop rule. Check the shared subject and the points at which one rule changes another rule’s permission, priority, resource use or stopping condition.

Resolve a consequential conflict before using the combination. An urgent incident may override a WIP policy under an existing service authority. The exception needs the displaced work, remaining protected conditions and recovery action to be clear. A general “urgent” label cannot supply those facts.

Return the selected use and the actual level of support: an applicable established method, a conditional alternative, a traceable candidate account with an unresolved operating claim, or an unsuitable use with its reason. On the available basis, the repertoire can retain current practice, keep or revise a candidate account, or reject a proposed use. Preserve the gap needed by a later stronger use in that same return. Keep any selected first action, its conditions and evidence limits, burden and reason to reopen close to the consequential choice. An existing operating note or method description can hold this result; maintaining a second catalogue adds value only if someone uses it to choose work.
