Well formulated requirements keep projects well focused to meet scope on time & on budget.
Primary requirements are "must have", secondary requirements are "nice to have".
A primary requirement based on your specific fit must not be compromised as D_42 notes above.
A secondary requirement for a blue frame can be met or not w/o affecting Scope.

wow, dinner time at your house must be really fun. approaching life in this way is certainly efficient, but its not living. Hopefully the OP sees utility in your attempts to organize his life. I chuckled a bit, thats for sure.
