STR.11:4.1 - Recover the chooser and the result the choice must produce

State who receives the comparison and who can choose the direction or commitment in question. Recover the relevant authority from the actual arrangement; a job title alone does not establish it.

Ask what is being decided now. It may be a strategic direction, a bounded preparation, one commitment, a jointly used configuration, continuation, deferral or rejection of the present set. If the task is only to recommend, return the recommendation and its limits without reporting the recipient’s decision.

Use FPF C.11 for the local choice over an adequate option set and comparison basis. If the set is still incomplete, return to STR.5 or STR.6. If a live inquiry could change the choice, compare its worth through STR.7 rather than adding an automatic trial.
