4. "Change what? research and evaluate ideas and solutions
4.1 Prioritizing research
The previous steps have resulted in a transformation of the point of view on the solution under study: from a technical solution with known component costs to a list of performances with known costs.
The search for alternatives takes place on three levels:
Performance requirements: does the performance of the solution studied correspond to actual needs?
Unnecessary" components of the solution, not corresponding to the expressed functions: how can they be eliminated?
Solutions: what else can be done to achieve each function of the current solution?
