Cost Function Specification & Optimisation

=Cost Function Specification & Optimisation =

Document and assess the risk propensity for - (i) optimizing for subset of objectives to the detriment of other Product objectives, (ii) optimizing for Outcomes that are unintended and/or not aligned with any Product objectives, (iii) feedback loops (when containing nested optimization loops), and (iv) Model confinement in adverse or less-than-optimal parameter or solution space - through Model  cost function and optimisation procedures during the Product Lifecycle. If risks occur, take measures to mitigate them as much as is reasonably practical.
 * Control

To (a) ensure the adequate optimisation of Product Definitions through an assessment of the cost function and optimization procedure; (b) to respect the boundary conditions and requirements set by the Product Definitions; and (c) highlight associated risks that might occur in the Product Lifecycle.
 * Aim
