PSD.1:4.1 - Name the receiving use before the problem statement

Start with one ordinary sentence:

Make [kind of decision-support return] available to [recipient] about [holder or subject] for [receiving decision or Work] within [horizon]; [choice owner] retains the later choice.

Ask what action can change because of the return and what consequence makes delay, error, or omission material. If no receiving decision or Work can be named, distinguish exploratory inquiry, research, learning, communication, or another direct use rather than manufacturing a decision-support engagement.

The requested return can initially be a bounded question, participant-and-concern account, plural formulation set, model or Method-selection result, alternative gap, comparison, recommendation, blocker, or abstention. Do not require a recommendation when an earlier honest result is more useful.
