DOCA.4:4.4 - Specify the finite change and support configuration

For each retained direction, state the finite change Delta and candidate configuration S1 relative to S0. Give enough support detail to identify the material dependencies and contradictions:

  • what contribution or Work would change, and who or what would perform or support it;
  • required capability, access, feedback, tools, Methods, interfaces, provider contributions, resources, and authority where each is consequential;
  • prerequisites, sequence or coexistence conditions, constraints, and interactions;
  • transition and implementation Work, including migration, setup, evaluation, recovery, and continuing-service needs;
  • what can be reversed, at what burden, and what remains irreversible; and
  • later options that the change could open, close, delay, or preserve, with the basis and uncertainty of those claims.

Describe how the proposed performers, supports, and relations fit together under these conditions. A feedback provider needed by two candidates may have capacity for only one. A combined model-and-human arrangement may add review or recovery Work that neither component proposal named.

Use direct holder, engineering, operations, organization, provider, safety, and other practices for their mechanisms and quantities. Unknown support does not establish realizability. Keep the direction conditional, identifying the result needed to construct a realizable candidate; reject or revise it when a qualified condition rules out its necessary support. Do not discard the worthwhile contribution merely because this way fails.
