Three decision gates
A candidate is useful only if all three questions are answered.
CAPABILITY
Can it still perform enough of the mission?
Resource condition propagates through services and functions to the mission-level capability score \(S\).
ADMISSIBILITY
Is the structural transition allowed?
The target must belong to the verified catalogue and satisfy resource, function and stability constraints.
TIMING
May the system change now?
Reaction latency must be fast enough, but configuration changes must also remain far enough apart to preserve the switching guarantee.
