DOCA.5:4.4 - Include transition burden, recovery, and future options

Check what must happen to move from the starting configuration to the candidate, not just what could hold after arrival. Include material setup, learning, migration, evaluation, coordination, temporary loss of service, and continuing support. Distinguish the resources needed to find out whether a transition is possible from those needed to realize it.

When comparing the finite change’s contribution, use C.11.CRC: actual or relied-on starting configuration, finite change, candidate configuration, common horizon and scenarios, and the complete relevant result, resource, affected-System/distributional, and protected coordinates. Each coordinate keeps its declared scale and polarity. A gain in the intended result does not cancel a protected loss or establish Pareto improvement.

Name what reversal would require and what it would not restore. Removing a tool may restore the earlier operating arrangement while leaving setup time spent, information disclosed, or a supplier relationship changed. State whether the transition opens, preserves, closes, or delays a later option, and which part of that claim is evidenced or conditional.

A proposed probe is itself a finite change when it consumes resources, exposes people or data, or changes later possibilities. Return its question and missing feasibility or authority result before treating it as an admissible recommendation or performed Work.
