What is justifying the selection?Show answer
Selection must be visibly tied to the criteria and the end-user, not to the designer's preference. A strong justification states how each leading option scored against the key criteria, where the end-user's feedback pointed, and why the chosen option wins on balance, including where it loses and why that matters less. This makes the decision reproducible and defensible.
What is linking to the work plan?Show answer
Once the concept is proven, the resolved design feeds the scheduled production plan: confirmed dimensions, materials, joints and processes. A proof of concept that revealed a problem and led to a change should be reflected in the final working drawings and plan, so that Unit 4 production builds the tested design, not the untested original.
