Start with the need
An adoption project should remain open to changes in environment, handling, staff response or process organisation. A new machine is one possible intervention, not a predetermined answer.
Specify the comparison
Define the target problem, current practice, proposed change and relevant animal outcomes. Include training, maintenance and operating responsibilities in the evaluation.
Current assessment
No facility has been audited and no intervention is validated by this note. It identifies the questions that would need to be answered for a specific project.
