ECO.9:1 - Problem frame

Use this pattern when a change to a rule for access, exchange, contribution or adaptation is being considered, but it is unclear what useful coordination would be lost or what practice would replace it. Begin with the difficulty in actual work and the contribution the current rule supplies. Compare preserving, modifying and replacing that contribution under attainable transition conditions.

The result is a reasoned rule change, a bounded trial, a justified decision to keep the rule, or an unresolved condition. Immediate protection from an established harm need not wait for a complete history of the institution.
