Spanish term

las casuisticas

Spanish to English Other IT (Information Technology)
Again from a document describing release strategy for purchase requisitions from Spain.

Tal y como se ha tratado de explicar con anterioridad, la particularización de cualquiera de las variables que intervienen en la EL produce un efecto multiplicador inmediato.
Por tanto, para disponer de unas EL “manejables” es imprescindible tratar de reducir al máximo las variables intervinientes así como *** las casuísticas *** para cada una de ellas.

As has been explained above, the specification of any of the variables involved in the RS (release strategy) produces an immediate multiplier effect.
Therefore, in order to have more "manageable" SRs it is vital to try and reduce as much as possible the variables involved as well as the .................................. for each of them.

In my dictionary 'casuistry' is offered as a translation. The meaning of casuistry that applies here is 'fallacious or dishonest application of general principles' but I feel that most readers of English would not uderstand casuistry. Any ideas? TIA

@Jane I think the relevant meaning of "casuística" for you here is:

"4. Consideración de los diversos casos particulares que se pueden prever en determinada materia" (DRAE).

the number of possible/potentical options

reduce the number of variables and number of possible/potential/alternative options/scenarios within each variable

O algo por el estilo. "Options" no me termina de convencer, pero no caigo en otro nombre que se ajuste bien a este contexto.
Suerte.

agree Charles Davis : This is what it means. "Options" will do, I think.
