When this decision is live

A transformation decision is not always in play. These are the conditions that activate it — if none hold for your organisation, this is not your next move.

Any one of these makes the decision live. The tests are curated predicates, not editorial judgement — which is why the same organisation always gets the same answer.

No blocking constraints curated

No constraint in the knowledge graph currently blocks this decision. That is an absence of evidence, not evidence of absence — constraints are added as they are observed and corroborated.
