OPS.5:4.5 - Give every item a usable disposition

Return each considered item as:

  • admitted, with reason, effective conditions and horizon, governing authority, authorized starter where established, and next review;
  • deferred, with the condition, observation, horizon, or changed fact that makes reconsideration useful;
  • rejected, with the reason and receiving return where another owner can answer the need; or
  • returned, with the exact missing or externally owned result, what it blocks, safe stop, and retry condition.

Keep the residual demand visible. Record no start merely because the item is admitted.
