COUNTEREVIDENCE & DISCONFIRMATION

What could change the decision.

A change invalidates the claimed operating case or no party can complete and fund recovery of the promised service.

This is a contrary case to test. The linked claim cards distinguish observed contrary findings from proposed project tests.

REMAINING QUESTIONS

What the project still needs to establish.

• Accepted responsibilities and current provider conditions; actual control rights; exercised change and interruption cases.

Before making the commitment

Actual provider conditions, accepted responsibilities, exercised change/exception cases and required competent review.
