| Comparability | Shared questions help compare alternatives, while different subjects need different criteria and evidence. |
| Situation specificity | Local constraints change the decision, while a one-project list may overfit and block reuse. |
| Candidate neutrality | Criteria should expose viable alternatives, while familiar candidates can be smuggled into the wording. |
| Flexibility | Professional Work must adapt, while non-negotiable safety, evidence, authority, and burden bounds must hold. |
| Clarity | Source-side content prompts reveal omissions, while they can be mistaken for universal Method parts. |
| Economy | Cheap observable stops save effort, while high-consequence claims need stronger evidence. |
