OCE.14:4.3 - Form materially different bounded alternatives

Keep the current arrangement visible with its observed benefits, costs and limits. If a binding condition excludes its continued use, retain it as a reference, not as an admissible continuation option.

Try different ways of answering the problem:

  • repair a failing contribution or enabling condition while keeping the successful arrangement;
  • change holder assignment, authority distribution, support, work interval or provider boundary;
  • isolate or stop the affected contribution while preserving other work;
  • reverse to a specifically recoverable earlier arrangement;
  • conduct a bounded observation or probe when it can distinguish alternatives that would change the decision.

Complete each serious alternative around the result, affected relations, people, support, authority, protection and transition it actually needs. “Add training” or “use a provider” is still a fragment until those dependencies and contributions are supplied.

Use OCE.3–OCE.8 when a concept, contribution architecture, continuing position, assignment, paired architecture or whole work arrangement must be designed or compared. Bring back that result; do not replace it with a revision label. A product-side change still needs its product or service owner.

Test reversal against the present world. Are the former holder, access, evidence, provider support and recovery conditions still available and permitted? An earlier chart does not restore them. Keep a qualified alternative with its real cost, or return the precise recovery gap.
