2. Compare options and choose the next evidence

Use SYSE.2, SYSE.5–SYSE.7, SYSE.10, and SYSE.13 to keep use concepts, architecture candidates, descriptions, evidence, family identity, configuration, and effectivity comparable. The deciding Agent uses SYSE.22 to compare the problems and options and records one replayable next-decision ChoiceResult for later planning or authorization. The Agent records a bounded probe only when a named feasible probe can change the decision enough to justify its cost. Otherwise the Agent chooses among surviving options, rejects the option set, or sends a question or missing-authority result to the Agent responsible for the named receiving decision.
