Richard how would you formalise this?

Which parts, specifically? I think we need consensus on a direction
before we, potentially, start new/updating processes.

The goal, IMO, is to reduce the subjective judgment on entry to sandbox, and increase the quantitative aspects

Agreed. At the same time, we need to take Goodhart's law[1] into
account. A more quantitative approach to inform project progression is
an obvious target for project optimization. At the same time, a more
quantitative tally of TOC's input and work would help make processes
more transparent and thus predictable.

Put differently, I am not convinced that we can optimize human
judgement away and would rather try to optimize on the side of
transparent processes.


Best,
Richard
