ADM.14:4.5 - Compare and authorize a change to the right contribution

Compare retaining the current arrangement with the material feasible alternative: clarify a response, reuse an adequate result, change the qualified test or its placement, repair implementation, or ask the authorized rule owner to revise the requirement.

Keep protected conditions visible before weighing optional speed or cost. Include false rejection, missed violations, unavailable checking, displaced work and recovery where they can alter the choice. ADM.15 supplies the consequence comparison.

Choose the smallest supported change. A correct policy with a defective implementation may need technical repair; a genuinely obsolete policy needs its authorized revision. A proposal or committee discussion does not establish adoption. A case handler uses the current applicable rule or an actual authorized exception while that decision remains open.
