OPS.19:4.7 - Return the cross-scale operating decision

Return one of three useful results:

  1. Cross-scale reconfiguration. Change which Work starts or is held, or change allocation, sequence, support, or another operating relation so the material results can coexist under current authority and conditions.
  2. Bounded continuation. Keep the current arrangement for a named scope and interval because changing it would consume a protected condition or lacks a better supported alternative.
  3. Exact unresolved conflict. Name the incompatible results, missing evidence or authority, what can still proceed, and the result that must return before the decision can close.

Record the decision, conditions, protected consequences, deferred demand, responsible return, and reopen trigger. Do not infer implementation, later effectiveness, a changed Method, or cultural continuation from the decision.

Send the result to OPS.16 only when it changes a feasible Method trial or protected trial condition. Send it to OPS.20 only as a candidate practice variation or consequence; that Method independently supports its population, predicate and continuation decision. Any selected intervention, needed authority or claimed later observation keeps its own basis.
