STR.12:5.3 - A signal supports continuation
A professional has reserved two hours for an exploratory conversation. A general report predicts declining demand in another region, but the present conversation concerns an existing local client’s known question and makes no demand-dependent investment.
A qualified inspection finds no dependence on that forecast. The person can continue the conversation within its original scope. This is a bounded no-impact conclusion, not a claim that all future client-development choices are unaffected.
