> With quality bars in hand, [[Methodology|methodology]] becomes a matching problem rather than a guess. This act takes each cluster from the previous act and commits to a method that satisfies its non-negotiables. It closes with three named decisions:
> 1. which approach for which cluster
> 2. which clusters to start with
> 3. and who is on the hook for each.
^purpose
1. We work from our own clusters, not from a pre-loaded taxonomy
2. For each cluster, we press the same three questions:
- What method satisfies its non-negotiables?
- Which one requirement is most at risk if that method is adopted imperfectly?
- Who is the steward who will be held to it?
3. The [[Knowledge methodologies roadmap|methods reference]] is available on request, never imposed as the structuring frame
4. We end up with methods grounded in our own pains and language - methods chosen from an outside menu rarely survive Monday morning
^plan
The act is explicitly decisional. The pain map and quality bars are already known - this act does not revisit them. It closes with implementation principles: statements the organisation commits to regardless of which tool is eventually chosen.
**You leave with:**
- An agreed method per cluster - what approach, and why
- A [[minimum viable scope]] - the clusters to start with, chosen by cost of failure
- Implementation principles - the commitments that survive any tool change
- Named owners for each cluster - the people walking out with a concrete to-do and the authority to [[Lead by example]]
