OPS.20:4.8 - Return a bounded continuation decision

Return continue, revise, branch, replace, stop, a retained set, or unknown. Bind the result to the exact practice status, value, predicate, participants, setting, period, qualification window and evidence. Include the authority and protected conditions the intended action requires; an intervention is not a universal completion condition.

Include:

  • the available positive, negative, inapplicable, unknown, or missing-information observations, including later observations when a later claim is made;
  • the retained serious alternatives and explanation still live;
  • separate service, reliability, flow, toil, adoption, or human-condition consequences;
  • population, authority, time, transfer, and causal limits;
  • a material reopen condition and, only for a selected useful attainable inquiry, its next observation.

Return a changed admitted-Method or lineage claim to OPS.16 or ME.15 only when that exact maintained claim is contradicted. Return repertoire implications to OPS.17. Return candidate or source material to its candidate account or source claim. Population spread alone changes none of those objects.
