MDPE.Application:5.1.3.4 - 4. Compare whole arrangements, including who bears the change

Follow each serious candidate through the complete occasion. Compare it with retaining the current arrangement.

Count a shared room or teaching contribution once, but include simultaneous demands and the work of making it available. A second room helps only if it has a floor, sound, staff and affordable access. Moving advanced practice to another day can preserve social time while excluding people who cannot attend twice. Asking skilled participants to welcome newcomers can create a valuable connection and an unpaid burden.

Do not require one scalar score. Preserve conditions whose violation would defeat the promised use. Then compare the remaining differences in effort, access, desired achievement, continuity and opportunities for development. State a trade-off instead of reporting that “everyone wins.”

A technically suitable proposal can remain unattainable because its provider or affected participant does not agree. Negotiate the actual task, compensation or allocation with the person who can change it. If that fails, use a feasible smaller arrangement, retain independent activities or return the unsolved provision problem. More facilitated discussion is useful only if it can change such a result.
