| decision-support engagement | The bounded situation in which a performer is expected to make a useful result available to a receiving decision or Work. The phrase alone establishes no Method, assignment, authority, WorkPlan, dated Work, service, or product. |
| decision-support performer | The actual or intended person, team, organization, tool-supported arrangement, or other capable System expected to prepare the return. A title, department, model, report, or tool output does not establish this performer or its authority. |
| recipient | The person or arrangement to whom the decision-support return is addressed for a named use. The recipient may or may not own the later choice. |
| holder or subject | The person, organization, System, arrangement, place, policy, capability, or other exact subject whose alternatives or consequences are under consideration. It is not inferred from the recipient’s identity. |
| choice owner | The Agent authorized to make, reject, defer, probe, or reroute the later decision. It may coincide with the recipient or performer only when that coincidence and authority are independently supported. |
| receiving decision or Work | The later choice or Work whose next action can change because of the decision-support return. A recommendation is one premise for that use, not the choice or Work itself. |
| bounded engagement question | The smallest decision-support question that makes the intended return, use, participants, scope, authority boundary, and reopen condition usable now. It is a practitioner result, not a universal account schema. |
