R03 · Decide with the user

Resolve one open decision with the user through a few substantively different options.

How to use this route

Use this route when the user wants to make the call. In autopilot the coordinator decides and logs instead of selecting this route. Present 2–4 options with a recommendation through the native question tool; a planning request stops at the recorded decision.

Stages: explore, refine. Work surface: as specified in the assignment. Involvement and budget come from the run's dials (shared rules).

Map

Read from top to bottom. Labeled arrows show conditions; dashed arrows exist only in the stages they name; loops represent repairs within the budget. Instructions for each node appear below.

Input and outcome

Input: Open decision and existing choices.
Outcome: Recorded decision with criteria, or the assigned UX artifact.

Work limits

Route cap: at most 2 new delegations, with 2 agents in parallel; at most 1 repair batch. The effective budget is the lower of this cap and the budget dial; the stage sets the fix passes per artifact. Shared rules.
