Decision
5. ONE of four options, but choose it at the very start
Required Often forgotten
The requirement gates itself behind the first four requirements, while requirement 1 needs this choice already made. So: choose now, work 1 to 4, then come back and do it.
Notes and warnings
Warning. This requirement gates itself behind requirements 1 to 4, while requirement 1 depends on this choice already having been made. It is not a deadlock (one needs the CHOICE, the other needs COMPLETION), but the working order is: choose the option, do 1 to 4, then do the option.
