PSD.9:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
| Completeness and usability | Material values must remain visible, while an enormous hierarchy burdens elicitation and repeats consequences. |
| Measurement and meaning | Observable measures help comparison, while easily measured proxies can displace the actual concern. |
| Trade-offs and protection | Some sacrifices are legitimate within the question; others require a separate authority or are outside permissible compensation. |
| Individual and collective values | A common comparison is useful, while unlike participants need not share one value function. |
| Precision and honest incompleteness | Explicit scales and preference questions can clarify a choice, while unsupported weights create false precision. |
