OPS.7:4.5 - Decide the bounded dispositions

For priority, preserve, raise, or lower it only when current evidence is sufficient and the decision is authorized; state the reason and intended coordination use. If the decision cannot be made, name the unresolved priority question, its intended recipient, and the condition for resuming the decision.

For the commitment, preserve it when support and conditions remain adequate; otherwise trigger authorized clarification, renegotiation, or withdrawal. When escalation or specialist return is needed, send the unresolved priority or commitment question to the participant with the relevant authority and state the decision expected from that participant. Include each unresolved question in the immediate coordination action or truthful blocker recorded in OPS.7:4.6.

Use C.11 only where several real admissible dispositions need comparison. A bounded probe is suitable only when it can change the disposition before the relevant horizon.
