In the given sequence of engagement stages, which term immediately follows Reconnaissance?

• A. Go/No-Go
• B. Team Building
• C. Contact
• D. Solicitation

Answer: (A)

The step right after gathering enough information is a Go/No-Go decision. This gating point asks, based on what you’ve learned in reconnaissance, whether the project or engagement is viable, worth the required resources, and aligned with constraints. It prevents wasting time and money on pursuits that aren’t justified and sets the direction for the next phase. If the decision is to go ahead, you’d typically move into activities like reaching out to stakeholders or issuing solicitations, and you’d start coordinating team efforts. If the decision is no-go, the engagement ends there. The other terms describe actions that come after the decision to proceed or are internal steps, so they don’t fit as the immediate follow-up to reconnaissance.
