SYSE.18:4.2 - Record the Result

FieldRequired content
shared useResult or use, conditions, interval, affected Systems, current decision, and deciding Agent.
constituent Systems and relationsActual Systems, configurations, other uses, reasons for inclusion, and one direct relation or stated gap for every relied-on contribution or constraint.
decisions and authorityOwnership and other governing relations, deciding Agents, assignments when relevant, authority, permissions, conflicts, escalation, and decision-centre boundaries.
commitments and interoperabilityCommitments with bearers and conditions; interfaces, capacities, timings, actual exchange or use evidence, notice, withdrawal, and failure-recovery conditions.
alternatives and choiceConsidered feasible coordination alternatives; selected alternative and selection basis; deciding authority, accepted losses, outside decisions, unsupported dependencies, and next Work.
later integration, when currentPerforming Agent, Method, dated Work, actual change or newly obtaining relation, resulting configuration, representative observation, and evidence limits.
decision use and reopenDecision contribution supplied to next Work; separately supported observed-coordination claim when available; fallback, gaps, and conditions for reopening each affected claim.

The first useful decision does not wait for implementation. Identify the earlier decision, performed Work, and later observed-coordination claim separately. An observed coordination result does not establish that every constituent commitment was fulfilled.
