Use when deciding how big a fix should be, when scope is drifting mid-task, when a plan is being quietly trimmed to fit, or when "while you're at it" appears in any form. Encodes size-to-trigger, decompose-not-descope, and drive-to-completion. Use whenever the work is about to grow past its cause or shrink below its promise.
