The competing alternatives must be prioritized against the trade-study success cri-
teria. The alternative that is regarded worthy of embracing should be the alternative

technical echelons of the development organization. The results of the trade study 
must be documented to maintain a history of architectural design decisions. These 
records provide a basis for improving the maturity software engineering practices 
within the enterprise.
