Here are some questions we need to ask about stakeholder value. How can we determine the overall value of a system? How is this value related to the performance characteristics of the system? How can we engineer the value to meet stakeholder expectations? How can we test and measure the real value? Can we contract for system payment by value, or do we have to restrict ourselves to payment for performance levels? Is there any way to quantify the overall value of a system as a function of a set of system attributes?
