+# Guidance for evaluation
+
+Deciding which instructions go into an ISA is extremely complex, costly, and a huge
+responsibility. In public standards mistakes are irrevocable, and in the case of an ISA
+the Opcode Allocation is a finite resource, meaning that mistakes punish future instructions
+as well.  This section therefore provides some Evaluation Guidance on the decision process.
+
+**Does anyone want it?**
+
+Sounds like an obvious question but if there is no driving need (no "Stakeholder")
+then why is the instruction being proposed? If it is purely out of curiosity or
+part of a Research effort not intended for production then it's probably best left in the
+EXT022 Sandbox.
+
+**How many registers does it need?**
