Abstract
In design science projects, there may be uncertainty about stakeholders and their goals, and so treatment requirements may be very uncertain. It nevertheless pays off to spend some time on thinking about the desired properties of a treatment before designing one. The requirements that we specify provide useful guidelines for searching possible treatments.
