PSD.13:4.1 - Recover the receiving use and the right to provide this advice

State who receives the answer, the exact subject or holder, the horizon, the question and the later decision or other Work that will use it. Recover the actual choice owner separately. A recipient may also be the choice owner when that authority is established; receiving an answer does not establish it.

Use an adequate PSD.1 engagement result for the same subject and decision. Otherwise obtain the qualified direct facts or return the exact missing recipient, question, scope or authority premise. Do not infer the engagement from a title, course, department or tool output.

For development-direction advising, distinguish the recommending performer from the recipient at the grain of this application. The client, sponsor, holder, recipient and chooser may coincide in some respects and differ in others; recover only the differences that affect the advice, disclosure or later choice. A larger organization may contain both adviser and recipient. Merely naming two roles of one self-advisory actor does not create the distinct-performer engagement; direct domain and C.11 guidance remain available.

Establish applicable professional scope, competence, material conflicts and permitted reliance before offering positive advice. For example, management-consultancy engagement and conflict conditions are informed by the ICMCI competence framework v4.0, C.1.1–2, C.2.1 and E.3.5. Human career-service consent and assessment limits come from the applicable professional source, such as the NCDA 2024 Code of Ethics, A.2 and E.2. These are different service conditions, not one universal profession or evidence that a proposed intervention works.

If a material mandate, competence, conflict or admissibility condition cannot be satisfied, return the scoped blocker or appropriate referral. A persuasive presentation cannot repair that condition. Existing emergency, safety or legal response duties retain their own direct authority and must not wait for completion of a PSD account.
