ME.14:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
|---|
| Decision closure | A team needs an action, while weak or incomparable evidence may justify a set, branch, or stop. |
| Multiple consequences | Domain results and burdens differ in kind and bearer, while one score promises simplicity. |
| Current alternatives | A new Method invites comparison with an idealized baseline, while real alternatives have their own gaps and transition costs. |
| Evidence asymmetry | The incumbent has history and the candidate has focused trials, while neither evidence base is automatically stronger. |
| Capability and support | They may enable value, while their cost and currentness can dominate the decision. |
| Reversibility | Experimentation benefits from recoverable choices, while semantic, organizational, or evidence changes can create lock-in. |
| Local and wider use | A situated branch may be valuable, while sponsors seek one universal winner. |
