OPS.22:4.1 - Name the receiving decision and recover the comparison

Ask what this judgement should change: the next operating action, a resource arrangement, an aim, feedback and development, recognition, or a decision under an existing reward or governing rule. Separate these questions when they need different evidence or powers. A useful learning conversation should not silently create a new compensation decision.

Recover the original aim and comparison from OPS.21 or a sufficient existing basis: intended contribution, population, horizon, difficulty, assumptions and protected conditions. Retain authorized changes with their timing and reasons. If the basis was never settled, say so and reconstruct what can be established from the actual undertaking; do not invent a retrospective promise.

Keep an ambition, forecast, resource authorization and service commitment distinct. Ten deliveries can miss an original ambition of twelve and satisfy ten legitimately revised promises. Both facts matter. The revision does not delete the original ambition or prove that the response was good.
