Practical guide
Decide when a small improvement is worth operational complexity
A small improvement should be weighed against additional setup, training, failure points and recovery work.
A small improvement should be weighed against additional setup, training, failure points and recovery work.
A practical procedure
-
Describe the observed benefit using the actual trial evidence and its uncertainty.
-
List the extra steps and responsibilities required to keep the change working.
-
Compare the benefit with that recurring burden and test whether a simpler variant preserves most of it.
Worked example: a fictional session
A fictional extra camera improves one close-up but adds difficult solo switching, so the host tests a fixed close-up position instead.
Check the limits
A benefit measured once may not justify a permanent operational dependency.
