First decision

Separate temperature effects and house choices

You are choosing a temperature or responding to heat, cold or a rapid change.

Use the whole card. The action stays attached to what must be observed and recorded, plus the nearest inference or action the current guidance cannot support.

Observe first

Measure current and recent temperature history, rate of change, oxygenation, life stage, behavior and the outcome actually at risk.

First action

Stabilize the system within its documented operating plan and address oxygen and ongoing heat exposure without chasing one study endpoint.

Record next

Record time series, measurement location, device, oxygen context, behavior, molts, reproduction, losses and every intervention.

Stop boundary

Do not call the fastest growth, shortest incubation or survival in one protocol a universal optimum or complete safe interval.
