How can we improve our close reason for software recommendations?

Question

I'd like to see us change this off-topic reason:

Questions seeking software recommendations are off-topic because they tend to become obsolete quickly. Instead, describe your situation and the specific problem you're trying to solve.

to be less about obsolescence than about usefulness. I'd also really like to include the following information as further guidance:

1. A link to https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/ and its help center.
2. Some sort of indication that asking how to solve problems within a framework, or through processes or controls, is more useful to the community than asking for a tool recommendation.

I don't really have any specific verbiage in mind, although I plan to give it some thought. Right now, though, I think almost anything would be an improvement over what we have as our current close reason.

Brainstorming and constructive suggestions are welcome.

Recommended Wording for Closing Software Recommendation Questions

After giving this some thought, I came up with this suggestion for the new wording:

Questions seeking software recommendations are off-topic here, but may be asked on Software Recommendations if they meet the guidelines defined by that site's Help Center. For your question to be on-topic here, please focus on a concrete problem you're having with a framework, process, or control that can potentially be answered in a canonical way, rather than focusing on selecting a tool.

If this won't fit in the available text field, or if further refinements would improve it, your constructive advice would be welcome. Otherwise, I would hope that the moderators would implement this (or something like it) unless the community comes up with something even better.
