ME.3:11 - SoTA-Echoing
| Source | Retained contribution | Use boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Daalhuizen and Cash, Method Content Theory | Goal, procedure, rationale, framing, and mindset questions and their alignment. | Static content questions from a bounded initial population are prompts, not FPF kinds, universal criteria, capability facts, or effectiveness evidence. |
| Gericke, Eckert, and Stacey, Elements of a design method | Intended use, scope, representation, procedure, tool, ecosystem, and adaptation conditions. | The conceptual elements complement rather than replace Method Content Theory and FPF subject placement. |
| Tsai, Zdravkovic, and Söder, situational Method Engineering in a digital business ecosystem | Empirical action-research evidence for situational requirements, construction, and selection in an ecosystem. | One action-research setting does not establish a universal criterion set or cross-domain fit. |
| Bender, context-specific embedded-analytics process selection | Context-specific requirement and selection questions with practical constraints. | The application population and source-local process terms do not determine Method identity or general applicability. |
Current FPF A.3.1 and A.15.6 | Method identity and applicability; project-relative subject recovery. | Criteria describe the desired contribution and conditions; they do not establish the identity of a Method or project subject. |
Reopen when a source model changes a decision-bearing prompt, a later evaluation exposes a criterion whose subject or decision level was wrong, a recurring architecture failure can be prevented by one affordable criterion, or the situation family, receiving result, variation, evidence window, performer, support, authority, or burden regime changes.
