PSD.14:4.7 - Close the present return and preserve the next useful question
Return the observation, qualification, affected use and material limits needed by the current question. Name a next responsible receiver when further action is actually needed; a sufficient direct return creates no additional completion record. Preserve enough of the prior recommendation, decision and evidence to distinguish a later reassessment from a claim that the earlier Work was different.
Close when this bounded follow-up question has a supported answer or an explicit blocker and its receiving use is clear. Continue an obtaining observation or service arrangement only under its own scope and end condition. A completed recommendation application does not become an indefinitely unfinished application merely because later follow-up exists.
When follow-up evidence can change the decision-support Method repertoire, supply the bounded case, conditions, failure or useful variation to PSD.15. Its owner still compares the repertoire and obtains its own result. One successful delivery, revised diagram or favourable outcome proves neither general Method effectiveness nor cultural continuation.
