What is a disadvantage of a framework approach?

• A. No ambiguity
• B. Always precise
• C. Interpretations can be subjective
• D. Universal rules

Answer: (C)

Frameworks provide a structured set of guidelines, not a exact recipe. Because they lay out principles rather than precise rules, different people can interpret and apply them in varying ways depending on the situation, data, and personal judgment. That flexibility means interpretations can be subjective, leading to different conclusions or recommendations even when using the same framework. In a digital context, this subjectivity is especially relevant, since fast-changing technology and diverse stakeholder perspectives can shape how principles are understood and applied. The other options assume there’s complete clarity, precision, or universal rules, which frameworks inherently do not promise.
