STR.5:4.5 - Return directions that can support the next decision

Return the serious directions with their contrasts, support, uncertainties and conditional filters. Include continued provision when it is viable and strategically relevant. Identify what each direction would set aside so that a later comparison includes opportunity cost.

Stop when the directions are distinct and sufficiently explained for the next question, or when a precise missing contribution prevents further responsible development. STR.6 may develop options; STR.9 may compare already sufficient ones; STR.11 may support the authorized choice. The useful result may remain advice, with the recipient’s choice open.

Reopen when evidence changes the contribution, a previously excluded beneficiary becomes material, an enabling condition becomes attainable or a filter’s protection no longer justifies its burden. A direction can also remain unchanged while its implementation options improve.
