SYSE.17:11 - SoTA and Source Use
Active discovery addresses Systems overlooked in an initial project description, including Systems affected by a toxic pipe or by public use. Bearing an engineering consequence, having a preference, agreeing to a proposal and contributing to the project remain separate claims.
| Source line | Retained contribution | Limit and guard |
|---|---|---|
| Polojärvi, Palmer, and Dunford 2023 | Systems Engineering literature reaches sociotechnical and societal settings and benefits from precise specialist accounts. | Use the review as evidence for that scope and need; ground any universal definition or sufficiency claim separately. |
| Volden and Welde 2022, Williams et al. 2023, and Thabit, Sancino, and Mora 2025 | Plural success criteria, changing beneficiaries, continuing benefits, representation, equity, and broader outcome concerns. | Use these studies for the reported plurality and changing concerns; choose any score, representative, aggregation Method, or decision result under its own evidence and authority. |
FPF A.1.CSD, A.1.SCR, A.10, C.27, C.28, D.1–D.5, and E.10.ROLE | General bearer and consequence discovery, System recognition, evidence, time, causality, value and conflict handling, audit use, and role-word recovery. | This DPF contributes recurring consequence-producing engineering situations, configuration inputs, receiving engineering decisions, and the specialist-interface move. |
Reopen only a source-dependent claim that newer evidence can change. Treat a new standard or academic framework as evidence about its published claims; use observations or qualified estimates of performed practice for prevalence and effectiveness.
