STR.14:4.3 - Construct and compare whole configurations

Consider alternatives that differ materially: narrow the promised result, shift timing, substitute a qualified provider, retain current service while deferring change, or stop a proposal that lacks a worthwhile feasible increment. Use internally sustained improvement when it can supply the missing contribution without a separate large transformation.

For each candidate compare the full finite change from the current arrangement: delivered and protected results, resources, timing, authority, uncertainty, displaced work, reversibility and affected interests. C.11.CRC supplies a missing configuration-relative comparison; reuse an adequate one.

Track moved burden. Reducing trial staff can increase provider support; moving training outside work hours can burden participants; delaying a platform feature can remove a fallback. Show the alternative work or contribution actually sacrificed.

Distinguish a feasible smaller whole from an unfinished fragment. A two-customer service promise still needs its permitted delivery and exception return. Do not call a demonstration successful delivery when the missing support is essential to the promise.
