Design Review Depth vs Decision Speed
Calibrate review depth to technical risk and irreversibility, reserving deep specialist scrutiny for novel or high-consequence systems.

Regulations
Business Context
Detailed design reviews can identify technical weaknesses, safety issues, constructability problems, and lifecycle concerns before they become expensive. Excessive review cycles can delay decisions and create repeated reconsideration of mature designs.
Green Field Industrial Projects TRIZ Resolution
Match review depth to technical risk, novelty, irreversibility, and consequence. Use focused specialist reviews for high-risk systems while applying streamlined verification to mature, standardized, or low-consequence designs.
Applicable TRIZ Principles
Principle 1 – Segmentation separates reviews according to technical risk and purpose.
Principle 3 – Local Quality applies different review intensity according to consequence.
Principle 23 – Feedback directs review findings rapidly to responsible engineering teams.
Expected Outcome
Faster technical decisions
Preserved design assurance
Better use of specialist resources
Reduced repetitive review
Decision Indicators
Early indicators include:
Standard systems receive the same review depth as novel systems.
Reviews repeatedly reopen resolved design decisions.
High-risk packages receive insufficient specialist attention.
Approval queues delay engineering releases.
Review comments focus heavily on low-consequence details.
