Notes

1. A Landing-Zone is analogous to a parachute”s Landing-Zone. A range that we realistically hope we can land in somewhere. This avoids the simplified notion of an exact Goal/Budget being the target.

2. For a set of Requirements, the overall Landing-Zone is the set of Landing-Zones, which “creates a space” over all the Requirement dimensions.

Attribute Tolerable Goal Stretch
Price >$27000 $20000 $17,500
Mileage (City) < 18mpg 25mpg 35mpg
Seating < 4 adults 5 adults 6 adults
Interior Noise at 65 mph > 74dBA 65dBA 55dBA
Projected 3-year Maintenance Cost >$3000 $2000 $1500



3. The multi-dimensionality of Landing-Zones is an important Feature. The space below Goal may seem unacceptable, but when you consider all dimensions at once, sub-par achievement in a single dimension is completely acceptable, if it Means optimal System performance.
4. A Landing-Zone generally covers a Success-Range and an Tolerable-Range.
5. A Landing-Zone may be tailored in specific instances to any numeric range desired. It does not have to use the Generic Default option of being in the success and Tolerable-Ranges.
