OPS.10.1:9 - Consequences
The practitioner can obtain a capacity comparison from the smallest sufficient construction and see which operating change would alter its conclusion. Mean, scenario, deadline and probability questions remain connected without substituting one answer for another.
The cost grows when dependence, calendars or uncertain service matter. A bounded decision may finish with an elementary obstruction; a probability-sensitive decision may need richer modeling and input support. The method makes that additional work conditional on the receiving question.
