EAM.8:4.4 - Return comparable choices and their conditions

Compare eligible policies using the applicable criterion in EAM.9. Return their service and configuration, dated work and consequences, ending premise, technical support and material conditions. EAM.10 can then combine them without losing a later funding need or counting shared work twice.

Retain the smallest alternative set that includes materially different feasible ways to meet the need. Obtain more diagnosis or costing only when an attainable answer could change eligibility, preference or the requested claim enough to justify its full burden. If EAM.13 reports a changed duty, price or support result, revise the affected policy and its recipients; an unrelated qualified policy need not be reconstructed.
