📋 Initial situation
What has to be decided, and why now? Describe the starting point, the trigger and the deadline in a few sentences.
Example: The current ticket system reaches its license limit at the end of the quarter. We have to decide by 05/31 whether we extend it or switch.
🎯 Decision criteria
Name the criteria against which all options are evaluated – this keeps the comparison below fair and comprehensible.
- Criterion 1: e.g. one-off and running costs
- Criterion 2: e.g. effort for implementation and training
- Criterion 3: e.g. data protection and compliance
