STR.5:5.2 - A four-condition filter used on three proposals

Consider a constructed strategy-filter example: this quarter, reduce customer rework, allow the result to be checked within two weeks, and avoid irreversible migration for now. The following applications illustrate that rule separately from SensorCo’s time plan.

A reversible correction to error-handling information may fit when it can reduce rework this quarter and its result can be checked within two weeks. If the rework effect is merely asserted, its fit remains conditional on the missing answer. A branding proposal with no supported rework contribution does not yet satisfy the filter. An irreversible migration fails the current filter even if it promises a large rework reduction.

A fitting proposal becomes eligible for the next choice; it is not thereby funded. If the responsible body later permits irreversible migration subject to transition protection, compare proposals under the revised basis and preserve the reason for that revision. The earlier migration decision remains intelligible under the earlier rule. The filter is revisable guidance with a stated purpose, not permission to rewrite facts to rescue a favourite proposal.
