Their own process · The requirements · Element
Who imposes it
Where the obligation comes from, which decides whether it can be argued with at all.
The part
What it is
Legislation, an industry body, the client, or a party further up the chain. A requirement imposed by law is a constraint; one imposed by a client is a position, and positions can be discussed.
The party who imposes a requirement is frequently not the party who has to satisfy it. Knowing both is what makes it clear who to talk to.
