Connect the returned result to its use

For each connection, say what result the receiver needs, what contribution supplies it and which conditions must hold. State what the explanation or demonstration leaves untested. A buyer’s corrected explanation gives colleagues a proposition they can examine; the group still makes its own comparison and authorised commitment. A practice retry can show a corrected action with stated assistance; a launch still needs that assistance to be allowed and available. A provider’s commitment backed by access and capacity can establish a support arrangement; delivery must then make the promised input available, and the receiver must use it. Observe what was produced and how it was used before concluding that the promised result was obtained. Keep observed improvement, its causal explanation and a claim of acquired capability distinct.

Distinguish actions that make up the work of preparing a handover report from work and conditions that enable that preparation. Checking entries and recording unresolved items are parts of the report-preparation work. The report is the result used by the next supervisor. Granting access is separate work that supplies an enabling condition; a purchase decision can precede the preparation. B.1.5.EW, currently a Candidate, develops this distinction when the relation to encompassing work needs recovery. The reporting rule and the evidence of what was performed still come from the reporting practice.

The ordinary branch of A.22.CGUS makes available, blocked and unknown continuations explicit. E.18.3:4.0 helps identify what changes, the situations being connected and the continuation that depends on the change. Distinguish what is required to start, what must remain available during the work and what the receiving work consumes. Check shared people and time as well as the feasibility of each contribution separately. Keep an unverified prerequisite unresolved until evidence supports it; obtain further information when its effect on a worthwhile next action warrants the burden.

Availability does not by itself choose between several complete ways to obtain one result. Use a direct domain comparison when it already answers that question. If proposed alternatives are fragments such as “use local staff” and “obtain a service”, C.38 develops comparable ways with the same receiving result, use and acceptance basis. Include the permissions, inputs, execution, checking, support and burdens that could change the choice; keep proposed or unknown conditions visible. C.11 then supports a choice, retained tie, rejection of the set or worthwhile further inquiry. A sufficient existing set of alternatives can go directly to that choice.

If no adequately explained way is available, C.39, currently a Draft, offers guidance for recovering a relevant practice’s operations and constructing the missing connection on the receiving material. Its explained candidate still needs the domain support required for the intended use. A known operation blocked only by missing permission returns to the permission owner.
