STR.10:4.5 - Compare what reversibility would require

Name what can be restored, what cannot, who would act, the necessary time and the consequence of switching. A reversible technical change can still create irreversible disclosure, customer reliance or lost service time.

For a retained fallback, identify the enabling contribution and the sacrifice made to keep it available. STR.9 can compare its option value. If the required capability, permission or observation cannot be available in time, state the resulting limit on adaptation.

A temporary trial also needs responsible closure. Ending inquiry does not cancel an obligation already incurred. Prefer a smaller commitment when it preserves the worthwhile contribution and avoids exposure that the present basis cannot justify.

In STR.4:5.3, the provider’s announcement leaves its restriction action available, while the qualified prior-transfer alternative removes that action for the needed window. Compare the latter’s full consequences without treating a favorable model result as an effective transfer. The workshop’s authority does not supply the other party’s agreement; a recorded duty does not itself make the interface usable.
