The key includes colours for 7 criteria and recommendations, and lines (black vs grey) for yes/no edges. The shortest path goes from the unwillingness of the project owner to keep a site hosted by KDL live (criteria 1) to the assessment of exceptional circumstances (criteria 7). The yes edge implies there are compelling circumstances for King’s College London not to follow the project owner wishes and leads to associated recommendations while the no edge leads associated recommendations for suitable decommissioning solution.
