ADM.16:4.1 - State what could change the continuation decision

Recover the current arrangement, observed consequences, relevant commitments and protected conditions. Use ADM.14–15 results when they answer the live control or consequence question.

Compare retention with the material feasible change. If the current arrangement already meets the relevant conditions and the proposed gain does not warrant its burden, the authorized decision maker can retain it on adequate existing evidence. Do not commission a new trial merely to justify continuing what is already supported.

For a change proposal, identify the actual object and intended difference: rule, control, provider, instruction, record or software. Use ME.15 only when maintaining an actual method variant or repertoire is the question. Changed wording, technical support or institutional authority does not by itself establish a new method.
