Which concept is addressed in RDMS Step 2?

RDMS Step 2 is about identifying what kind of decision you’re facing. That classification sets the path for the rest of the process. Knowing the decision type tells you how to structure your approach: what level of analysis is appropriate, whether multiple COAs are needed, how quickly you must act, and what criteria you'll use to evaluate options. Once the type of decision is clear, you can tailor the next steps—how many COAs to develop, what kind of analysis to perform, and how to compare the current situation to the order—appropriately. Developing a single COA, implementing a COA, or simply comparing the current situation to the order are steps that follow from understanding the decision type. They’re not the starting point because rushing into COA development or action without first clarifying the decision type can misalign the process with what the situation actually requires.
