1. Recover the later Work and the reason to explore

Describe what the holder might contribute, for whom, in what situation and over what horizon. Distinguish the receiver’s useful result from the holder’s desired learning, status, product or technology use. Ask what would remain unsatisfactory if nothing changed, and whether the receiver actually cares about that difference.

Keep alternative formulations when they materially change the opportunity. One inquiry may concern recovering an acceptance premise; another may concern supporting shift handoffs. Those are not merely two implementations of one already accepted result. Use PSD.3 when competing formulations require substantive problem-structuring work.

Start from a qualified demand or problem account when one exists. If the reason to explore is only a supplier’s enthusiasm, preserve it as a search lead, not as an established need. If the receiver says the proposed result is unnecessary, revise the contribution or reject that lead.
