PSDA.Sources:5 - Source grounds for the development applications and their suppliers

These source contributions qualify their stated ingredients and uses. The general opportunity and continuing-development Methods have their own Core bodies; the professional advice and applications here retain the source limits on which they rely.

PSDA.Sources:5.1 - Opportunity, characterization, and retained possibilities

Source and relied-on contribution	Use in this framework	Limit and smallest reopen
ISO 56007:2023: opportunity/idea and concept work before solution development and deployment.	Adapted in C.40.OI, C.40.NU, C.40.PC, C.40.DC: independent early inquiry, contrastive search, receiving problem/contribution and prospective support configuration.	Reliance is on its public scope, not an inspected full paid standard or effectiveness evidence. Reopen the affected front-end boundary if that scope or a stronger practice changes it.
Phillips, Decision Analysis for Practitioners, 2025: requisite modelling, revisable problem framing and exploration sufficient to move forward.	Adopted and compared in C.40.OI: a strong alternative when joint modelling and sensitivity analysis serve the question; adapted to a bounded development inquiry with an optional no-adviser entry.	A practitioner account with cases, not comparative effectiveness evidence for these opportunity Methods. Reopen the bounded-entry choice when direct modelling already supplies the needed result.
Keeney, Value-Focused Brainstorming: generate alternatives from explicit values and avoid early group anchoring.	Adapted historical anchor in C.40.NU, joined to current bounded inquiry and source-qualified return.	This earlier contribution is not labelled the whole current SoTA or a universal generation Method. A better contrastive approach reopens the affected search move.
ISO 56008:2024: measurement and review for innovation management.	Bounded comparator for organization/campaign characterization in C.40.OC.	Organization scope does not supply person, AI or facility measures. Reopen its affected measurement comparison, not every holder branch.
Current FPF FPF E.10.DEV, FPF C.16, FPF C.11.CRC, FPF C.11.DUA, FPF A.15.9, FPF C.18 and FPF C.19.	Their directly defined semantic recovery, measurement, finite comparison, inquiry appraisal, external-result use and acquisition, archive/front and live-pool contributions are adopted or adapted at the body loci named in each pattern’s SoTA account.	None establishes a particular holder result. C.19 governs actual live-pool treatment, including under unchanged policy; it is not a local probe selector. A changed definition reopens the dependent opportunity claim.
OECD, Proactive portfolio management in mission-oriented innovation policy, 2025, sections 2–4: complementary activities, stage dependencies, resources, adaptation and termination.	Adapted in C.40.OP’s retention, stage-specific comparison and reconsideration.	Its mission selection and funding remain external; it supplies no universal horizon count, individual development mechanism or demonstrated option valuation. Reopen the particular retention or specialist-valuation question.

PSDA.Sources:5.2 - Professional and AI-source qualification

Source and qualified reading	Receiving contribution	Scope limit and return
NCDA Code of Ethics, 2024, A.2, A.10 and E.2.	Adapted in PSDA.19’s career-service participation, assessment-competence, information-use and referral boundaries.	The identified professional scope does not establish local law or the adviser’s actual competence. Determine the applicable service and local requirements before relying on those claims. A changed code or use reopens the affected condition.
ICMCI competence framework v4.0, approved October 2021, identified C.1/C.2 engagement and E.3.5 impartiality clauses.	Bounded clause reliance for client involvement and material conflict treatment in PSDA.19.	The official ICD 2026 page lists an update presentation. Its existence does not make this older framework the complete current standard or establish that the full update was inspected. A complete current certification claim remains outside this reliance.
ICMCI Code of Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence, v1.0, May 2026, sections 1.2, 2.2, 3.1–3.4, 5 and 7.	Adopted within professional scope in PSDA.19: responsibility, human content review, protected information, competence and material-use disclosure.	Routine tool availability is not warrant. Actual adoption, contract and applicable requirements determine the service conditions. The code does not evaluate an AI development subject.
NIST AI RMF Playbook, MAP 1.1 and MAP 4.1: receiving context, assumptions, third-party components and support risks.	Adapted in C.40.JF and C.40.RQ for configuration-specific joint premises and changed-use effects.	These Map contributions do not provide the client’s evaluation, causal result or permission. The source describes RMF revision in progress; this is not reliance on a claimed completed replacement edition. Reopen the affected configuration or source claim.

For a concrete currentness episode, suppose an adviser needs to know whether “ICMCI compliant” establishes all required engagement conditions. The identified v4.0 clauses support the bounded involvement/conflict contribution, and the May 2026 AI Code supplies a separate scoped AI-use contribution. Neither closes the broader complete-current-standard claim. The visible 2026 update cue returns that precise claim to the professional source owner; the adviser can retain the identified qualified contributions while withholding the broader assertion. Local legal and professional applicability still needs its own result. A newer label alone supplies none of these conclusions.
