Source responsibility and references
The Development-direction advising profile and Construct a Bounded Development Opportunity method use the following sources for the purposes shown. The cited portions were qualified on 2 September 2026. Apply each source within the stated limits and reconsider a consequential claim when its source or use changes.
| Source and inspected portion | Selected role and affected content | Limit and local reopen |
|---|---|---|
| Keeney, Value-Focused Brainstorming, 2012, publisher abstract | Historical generation anchor: explicit values inform alternatives; individual generation can precede group anchoring. Opportunity Method §2. | Not a current-prevalence claim or general reachability theory. Reopen if a stronger generation line changes the inquiry’s useful action. |
| Phillips, Decision Analysis for Practitioners, 2025, “Requisite Decision Models,” “Decision Conferences and Workshops,” “Decision Models as Transitional Objects,” “Decision Analysis Technology” | Contemporary practitioner synthesis for purpose-dependent future exploration and selective use of analytical ingredients. Opportunity Method’s inquiry/choice separation and source-informed design. | Experience-based account, not validation of this cross-holder construction Method or every future outcome. Reopen on a material limitation of that use. |
| NCDG 2024, CD2/CD3 | Human-branch alternatives, consequences and qualified current career information. Both human examples. | Does not supply intervention, transfer, organization or AI mechanisms. Reopen the human information-use claims when their source or receiving use changes. |
| NCDA Code of Ethics 2024, A.2, A.10 and E.2 | Human career-service participation, assessment competence and referral/closure boundaries. Profile engagement and return. | Profession-specific conditions; applicability must be established. No efficacy, legal or AI-holder assessment conclusion follows. Reopen only affected service claims. |
| ICMCI competence framework v4.0, 2021, C.1.1–2, C.2.1 and E.3.5 | Agreed consulting engagement content, client involvement and material conflict disclosure. Profile engagement/return. | A verified bounded baseline, not a claim that v4.0 is the latest framework. Reopen when an applicable later clause changes the used service condition. |
| ICMCI AI Code v1.0, May 2026, §§1.2, 2.2, 3.1–3.4, 5.1–5.4, 7 | Adds a qualified current source for AI used by an adviser: professional responsibility, material-output checking, data restrictions and client disclosure. | Applies within its stated professional/adoption scope. Does not supply AI-holder evaluation or intervention evidence. Reopen the affected service use, not every holder claim. |
The ICMCI June 2026 release announcement supports the AI Code’s publication context. Its professional clauses above come from the Code itself, not the announcement. The 2026 competence-framework update presentation is separately discoverable; the present account makes no claim to have inspected or replaced the entire revised certification framework. The older selected engagement clauses are not represented as a complete current standard.
Obtain the result needed for the developing subject
| Method or source | Contribution to advising |
|---|---|
| FPF A.3.1 and A.3.2 | Identify the reusable method and what describes its performance. Evidence of actual performance and effectiveness comes from the application. |
| FPF A.15.9, A.10 and A.10.1 | Obtain a needed specialist result, keep its evidence and limits, and revisit the advice that depends on a changed source. |
| FPF C.18, with C.19 when its search question applies | Support open-ended generation and use of an archive. Obtain results from the relevant domain practice to establish the opportunity’s practical reachability and value in the case being considered. |
| HCD.1, HCD.3 and HCD.4 (complete HCD first edition) | Investigate demand from later human work, a limiting development target and a capability profile. These are the HCD contributions named for this PSD use; other HCD patterns remain available only under their own working conditions. Further intervention, curriculum and transfer results require their relevant methods and evidence. |
| OCE.8 | Compare whole organizational arrangements once the needed result and its conditions are sufficiently established. Bring the actual organization’s comparison back to the advice. |
| The applicable technical or professional practice | Supply the strategy, operating, AI evaluation, safety, authority or other case-specific premise that can change the opportunity or recommendation. |
The sources support the method’s ingredients and their limits. Testing the combined opportunity-construction method, or establishing the effect of an intervention, requires evidence from its actual use.
Keep source changes and case changes distinct
When a fact about one person, organization, model or provider changes, reconsider the opportunity or advice that depended on it. A changed human career-service condition affects the human engagement, assessment or return that used it; a changed consulting disclosure condition affects the applicable service. Keep the independent evidence for other subjects and conclusions.
Revise the reusable method when new evidence or a better approach changes its search, opportunity construction, dependency reasoning, reachability test or stopping rule. The person maintaining the advising profile and opportunity method retains the changed claim, its source, the affected method or pattern and the revised limit. Reopen a wider PSD contribution when one of its shared inputs or results changes.
A person using advice keeps the relevant subject, configuration, intended use, period and source conditions visible. Actual service relationships determine consent, confidentiality, competence, referral and closure duties. Apply the duties established for that relationship, and obtain a missing professional or technical result before relying on the affected conclusion.
