Reconsider in time and preserve independent work

STR.12 connects two illustrative signals to different returns.

A qualified next-month workload forecast above eighty engineer-days, with the eight-day reserve preserved, must arrive before allocation. If the dependent trial has later been authorized and the agreed suspension rule applies, the service owner suspends it within that authority and the Board reconsiders scope. During the original preparation, there is no trial to suspend; the team returns the infeasible proposed allocation.

If sufficient complete costing rules out a worthwhile service configuration during preparation, it can end the trial inquiry and support device-only continuation. If that sufficient adverse cost result is obtained only after an authorized trial, it blocks expansion and returns the preference to the Board. A missing necessary cost component leaves the comparison unresolved rather than supplying that negative conclusion.

These are case-specific conditions, not an automatic pivot rule. Changed permission, finance or affected-party conditions can also matter. Independent device commitments and protected service continue where their basis remains adequate.
