How practice works

A scenario should force more than one correct command.

  1. Observe

    Establish what the environment is doing before deciding what is wrong.

  2. Reason

    Form a testable explanation based on architecture, evidence and risk.

  3. Act

    Configure, test, investigate or communicate the response required by the role.

  4. Defend

    Explain the decision, its limitations and what should happen next.
