• Have you fully explored what the "problem behind the problem" is?
    • Is the problem statement correctly formulated?
    • Is the list of stakeholders complete and correct?
    • Does everyone agree on the definition of the system boundaries?
    • If system boundaries have been expressed using actors, have all actors been defined and correctly described?
    • Have you sufficiently explored constraints to be put on the system?
    • Have you covered all kinds of constraints - for example political, economic, and environmental.
    • Have all key features of the system been identified and defined?
    • Will the features solve the problems that are identified?
    • Are the features consistent with constraints that are identified?
