I'm leaning towards balanced scorecard. That would let the BA evaluate the change from multiple perspectives - business, technical, schedule, etc. Gotta cover all the bases, you know?

Concept modeling seems like it could be a good option. It would help the BA visualize the new product and how it fits into the existing system. I'll make sure to review that in my notes.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Backlog management could work, but that's more for managing the work itself. I'll have to think this through a bit more.
