Deciding what to do with a technical clarification message

The situation

They received a message that clarified a technical point about a drive recovery, specifically what a percentage referred to. The message was part of a larger conversation about recovering data from a drive. They had to decide how to proceed with this new information. The context of the conversation was important to consider. They were trying to understand the scope of the recovery

What they weighed

• Act on the message and verify the result

• Keep it as context when no action is called for

  Chosen

What they decided

Keep it as context when no action is called for

Why

They chose to keep the message as context because it was already addressed in the conversation it came from. The clarification was important for understanding the recovery process, but it did not require a separate action. They could refer back to the conversation if needed. The message was more of an explanation than a call to action
