Step 4: Consequences

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6

This step involves the intersection between the previous two - where estimated consequences the alternatives developed in Step 3 are presented in terms of the objectives and evaluation criteria developed in Step 2.

This step is primarily an analytical task, involving the assignment of consequences, NOT the assessment of value-based judgments about the relative importance of those consequences or the identification of a preferred alternative. This step is usually undertaken by scientists, economists and specialists in traditional ecological knowledge.
