OPS.18:3 - Forces
| Force | Practical tension |
| prompt response and false signals | Earlier detection can help containment while unsuitable thresholds create unnecessary interventions. |
| stability and acceptability | A stable process can repeatedly produce results that fail the requirement. |
| aggregate service and local consequence | A good average can hide an affected customer group or a short severe incident. |
| restoration and causal understanding | Service may be recoverable before the cause is fully established, while recurrence prevention still needs investigation. |
| continuity and protected conditions | Urgent recovery work requires the capability, authority and protections of its actual operation. |
