OPS.17:3 - Forces
| Force | Practical tension |
|---|
| reuse and fit | A known method saves invention, while local demand, authority or capability can invalidate its assumptions. |
| improvement and adoption cost | A stronger response can consume training, observation and coordination effort that a simpler adequate response avoids. |
| local gain and operating result | Faster preparation can move unfinished work to acceptance or consume incident cover elsewhere. |
| comparison and preference | Several feasible methods can remain worthwhile for different service, burden and financial consequences. |
| consistency and exception | A stable work policy helps coordination; a justified urgent exception can require explicit displacement and recovery. |
