First move
This control is evidenced by people and documents, not systems. Put the document under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a record with reviewer and date. Do not try to automate it.

- Likelihood reduction and duration shortening factors ignored
- Capacity requirement dropped, so options are judged on time only
