Run the framing step on your observation and proposed fix. It separates the literal observation from your assumed cause, maps alternative dimensions where the problem could originate, and investigates each with evidence before confirming or reframing the problem.
Framing determines what the right problem to solve is, while planning determines how to build the solution. Framing asks where in the system the problem actually lives; planning asks which implementation approach to take. Framing always runs first.
Skip it for purely mechanical changes like renaming a function or bumping a dependency version, when you have already verified the root cause yourself, or when the request is a clearly scoped feature with no underlying premise to challenge.
A confirmed framing is a successful outcome. The Frame Brief explicitly states that the initial framing held up, and you proceed with your originally proposed direction rather than manufacturing an unnecessary reframing.
Yes. The Frame Brief is a standalone artifact useful as a discussion document or to scope a quick fix. It does not require a follow-on planning step, though it is designed to serve as direct input to one.
