Make the proceed / blocked recommendation
Weighs the gap list against engagement risk tolerance and produces a proceed / proceed-with-caveats / blocked recommendation with rationale and specific blockers to escalate.
In / outGap list + engagement risk tolerance → proceed recommendation (proceed / proceed-with-caveats / blocked), rationale, blockers list
You might say…
“I kept pressing forward with partial data and the client felt ambushed when findings had caveats — a clear blocked call up front would have been cleaner.”
What it does
Weigh the gap list against the engagement's risk tolerance and methodology requirements to recommend proceed, proceed-with-caveats, or blocked, with the rationale and the specific blockers to escalate. Used immediately after the gap assessment to convert findings into a defensible decision and a clear blocker handoff.
Trigger: Use immediately after the gap assessment is complete; provide the gap list and any scope or risk constraints from the intake.
