IS THERE A HIGH RISK IF YOU CHOOSE THE WRONG SOLUTION?
• Is the current cost of not having this new system higher than the cost of having to make a second decision?
• If the risk is localized to an individual department or does not have potential knock-on effects, a full evaluation may not be necessary.
• Is the new solution potentially complicated

TIP: If ramping up and ramping down the system can be done relatively painlessly, there is less long-term risk to mitigate through a more involved evaluation process.
