6. Basic principles
Reasonable: clearly representing a feature of the outcome.
Normative: having an accepted interpretation of what is a “favourable” change.
Robust: reliable, and statistically and analytically validated.
Responsive to policy: potentially responsive to policy in a significant way (not remote).
Feasible: not imposing too large a financial burden, if any.
Debatable: timely available to the stakeholders and subject to revision.
