OPS.18:9 - Consequences

The practitioner can connect quality and reliability evidence to a concrete operating response. The action remains scoped to the affected output, service or configuration, while necessary service can continue under its own conditions.

Monitoring and acceptance can incur false alarms, missed failures, inspection cost or delayed service. Recovery can restore operation while leaving a cause unresolved. Selecting the method and evidence by consequence makes these trade-offs visible instead of hiding them in a single green status.
