OPS.14:4.1 - Name the alternatives and the operating change

State the decision, recipient of the comparison, alternatives and horizon. Include current practice or deferral when either is a real option. Establish which alternatives satisfy applicable service, protection and authority conditions; use OPS.12/.13 where those conditions need development.

Describe the operational difference: what accepted result changes, which demand it serves, what work and resources it requires, which work is delayed or displaced, and what happens after failure. Use a schedule or bounded scenarios when timing matters. Keep unresolved assumptions visible.

Follow the proposed gain to its receiving use. Saving preparation time can matter because it changes a payment, frees a resource for another accepted job or protects service. Name the actual consequence before attaching a monetary value to the saved time.
