• Is the current output A greater than or equal to the required output R as well as any problems P or harms H of achieving the required output?
    • If yes, then the current output A remains intact, and, precautions are necessary to ensure A is not negatively affected by any proposed system change (reduce output or introduce new problems or harms)
    • If no, then identify the change (delta) necessary for A to be equal to or greater than the required output taking any problems or harms into account. Identify the characteristic zone and team system characteristics impacted and proceed to test three.
