ME.14:2 - Problem

Conformance can become value, fit can become superiority, one positive trial can become effectiveness, and immediate participant preference can become long-term worth. A new Method may be compared with an undefined status quo, while stopping or spending the same effort elsewhere is omitted. Capability, support, authority, confidentiality, recovery, and maintenance demands disappear into a weighted total whose assumptions cannot be recovered.

The resulting decision is hard to challenge and harder to revise. Later evidence cannot show which cell changed, a non-dominated alternative is discarded, and a local keep becomes an organization-wide adoption claim.
