Service definition

What the engagement produces

The assessment records the decision criteria, options considered, cost and operating consequences, recommended option, rejected options and conditions for proceeding.

A graphite decision model branching into three materially different paths connected by an ember-coloured line.
Decision structure

A defensible technology decision keeps the rejected paths visible: their operating cost, dependencies, limits and exit conditions remain part of the record.
