Note: Use the section above to draft a new Standard (or click on the buttons next to an existing draft standard to modify it). When creating or modifying a draft Standard, you may add or modify Performance Requirements associated with that Standard. A Standard represents the basic concept and a Performance Requirement describes the means to assess compliance with the standard.
If you would like to draft a Performance Requirement, but you are unsure about an overarching Standard (i.e., something important to measure but the concept is not yet defined) you can use this section to create the draft Performance Requirement.
