Stopping after a completed request with no pursuits
Completed request needs no more action
The situation
A request was made to call a list of pursuits and report the count. The person making the request explicitly said to do nothing else after the call. The call was made and it returned zero pursuits. The request is now complete, but it is unclear if further action is needed. The person's instruction to do nothing else is clear, but it may not be the only consideration. The result of the call is already known, so no further action may be necessary.
What they weighed
No further action
Take further action
What they decided
No further action
Why
The request is complete and the person explicitly instructed to do nothing else. Any additional action would violate this instruction. The existing result already answers the request, so no further action is needed. The completed result shows zero pursuits, which suggests that no more action is required.
The first step
Stop and report the completed result of zero pursuits
How they would know it worked
