This dissertation focuses on the Requirements Engineering (RE) vital role in systems development; it is the preparatory point and critical foundation of the overall engineering actives and processes. This praxis explores the understanding of the RE process, and its influence across the System Life Cycle (SLC) stages, utilizing a quantitative empirical methodology to demonstrate the effectiveness of stakeholder decision value in the overall success of Systems Engineering (SE). This praxis proposes a framework for structuring decisions, based upon the INCOSE Decision Management Process, which improves stakeholder confidence during system developmental stages. This praxis also introduces and applies the Nexus Engineering Execution Generation (NEX GEN) framework, a novel method for systematic textual analysis of requirements documentation as a prediction of system performance with an iterative decision-making process.
