OPS.20:4.6 - Compare alternatives and bound the intended action

Compare the alternatives that remain serious for the named population:

  • retain the current carrier and selection arrangement;
  • change one carrier, handover, forum, rule, or selection arrangement;
  • branch the arrangement for a population, setting, case, or condition;
  • replace the current means;
  • stop or revert the intervention;
  • preserve a relevant unknown, selecting a discriminating observation only when it is useful and obtainable.

For the intended continuation or change where authorization is required, name the decision-making Agent and its assignment, permission, or authority predicate, participants, scope, positive basis, and protected conditions. A factual account creates no intervention to authorize. A selected change also states reversible exposure and its intended operating consequence. Expertise, sponsorship, attendance, tool ownership, assignment, permission, and authority are not interchangeable.

Keep service stops, safety, recovery, privacy, consent, security, release authority, employment conditions, and professional judgments with their current owners. A missing authority or protection returns an exact stop or narrower branch; it does not justify a broader rollout.
