OCE.7:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
| Local autonomy | Aligned boundaries can reduce coordination, while shared safety, evidence, platform, and capability conditions can require cross-boundary relations. |
| Technical integrity | Product or service cohesion matters, while organization migration and provider arrangements constrain feasible change. |
| Specialist depth | Stable capability homes improve difficult Work, while contributors may face queues and extra handoffs across those boundaries. |
| Independent authority | Separate acceptance or governance can protect a characteristic, while it prevents full end-to-end ownership. |
| Evolution | Current alignment can be useful, while products, services, people, providers, and regulation change at different rates. |
| Evidence | Correspondence studies reveal contingent patterns, while a local decision still needs direct structures, relations, and consequences. |
