I’m having trouble seeing the distinction. In your “Roll then Go” example, the PC already chose the course of action before engaging the ogre. ‘I deal with the ogre offensively’ is just more vaguely worded than ‘I attack the ogre’, isn’t it?

Perhaps it’s my lack of experience with such systems, but I still see those as the same thing except whether you “zoom in” or “zoom out” of the scene. The closest analogy I can think of is Ironsworn, where you can use multiple Clash, Secure an Advantage etc. moves to simulate combat, or settle it in a single Battle roll. In the latter case, I’d still call it “Go then Roll” because deciding to fight at all is the choice being made.
