Which is essentially about opportunity cost

Cost is often used to represent the combined attributes

Single attribute

Probably best to segment by highest connectivity and highest sensitivity architectural decisions

Feels like evaluation criteria for trade studies, attributes for tradespace and matrices are really the operative work. These different methods are essentially different ways of data visualization
