Solutions to Problem: Having a Selection Criteria

This post discusses the case study, Choose Between Two Corrects.

Actually this was a trick question. The solution lies before and not after the fact. If you expect more than one solution to a problem - and it is very likely that you will have more than one solution, even if only one person is assigned the task - you never decide on the criteria after the solution is presented. Rather you must - must - always decide on the selection criteria before. In fact, whenever possible you should also make the selection criteria open. This helps in getting better solution. Always.

What if all the solutions presented meet the selection criteria laid down? Congratulations! You have a great team.
