Core methods, principles and tool types used across the DSP
Awaiting source text
This section is a heading in the source handbook with no text beneath it yet. Nothing has been written here in its place.
What is known so far
The source does not collect the cross-cutting methods in one place, but several recur across modules and processes and are documented where they are used:
| Method | Where it is described |
|---|---|
| Multi-Criteria Analysis, including criteria selection, pairwise weighting, scoring and aggregation | Detailed option assessment |
| Risk-Cost-Benefit Analysis | Risk Mitigation |
| System mapping | System Interdependencies |
| Thresholds and tipping points | Risk reduction analysis |
| Stakeholder workshops and structured engagement | Each process, under its own engagement section |
Each module also has its own Methods / principles and Tools / models sections in Technical modules.
What this page should cover
The principles that hold across the whole DSP rather than within one module, and the classes of tool that satisfy them, so that a team choosing between two candidate tools can tell which one fits.
