SYSE.3:4.7 - Stop at one actionable gap and name the affected earlier answer
The first result can be stated in five lines:
- Architecture input: the named candidate or decision and the selected structures at issue.
- Unsupported branch: the intended result or change whose realization is not yet supported.
- Missing support: the proposed transformer System or unresolved need for one and the capability, Method, resource, platform contribution, interface, integration, or configuration result still needed.
- Next Work: one WorkPlan item that can resolve that gap.
- Affected earlier answer: the branch, architecture answer, linked concept, or project-focus claim to reopen if the result defeats it.
Stop when these five lines make the next action and affected earlier answer clear. Expand only when interacting branches or build-the-builder recursion changes that next action.
When feasibility evidence arrives, update the branch description and WorkPlan. If one branch fails but another
admissible branch remains, repair or replace that branch. If no admissible realization remains, reopen the
architecture candidate or decision. Reassess the linked use-and-system concept under SYSE.2 only when its use or concept claim must change,
and reassess the project-system choice under SYSE.1 only when the project focus or boundary must change. Cost already incurred supplies no
reason to preserve an unsupported answer.
