Has statement The scope of the modeling project can change significantly during the project; initial calls for "back of the envelope" (very simple) analyses for ASQ eventually evolved into a model with 120 vegetation classes.
Has evidence The design process was rather ad-hoc and sequential, as a result of step-wise funding becoming available. Therefore, no overall scoping exercise was carried out at the start of the project and the general architecture of the system is inefficient and unstructured.
Has consequences Many suggestions for improvements come from long term usage of the system.
Has recommendation for action Since the beginning, provide adequate financing also for maintanance, and a stable multidisciplinary staff
