STR.6:10 - Rationale

An option is useful through the action it preserves and the conditions under which that action is available. A description, an enabling capability and an authorized commitment therefore contribute differently to future freedom.

Grouping by contribution makes comparisons fair without requiring every strategic direction to deliver an identical result. Separating retention from selection preserves discovery while keeping present commitments bounded.
