The formal criteria sit in four sets of rules; the concept sits in one document.
The Interstate Study Accreditation Treaty, the model legal ordinance, the university's own framework regulations and the agency's requirements each say something about scope, module size, examination density and learning outcomes. Whoever writes the self-evaluation report has to check the concept against four sources at once, in their head. Whatever slips through comes back months later as a condition, and then the module description and the regulations both have to be changed.

Before the self-evaluation report, the concept takes 152 checks; after the procedure, each of two conditions costs an amendment to the regulations and a committee resolution. That is why checking early saves 50% of the rework.
The 50% reduction in rework is this agent's headline figure. Whether a procedure ends with two conditions is for the agency to decide case by case, and the 38 module descriptions are an assumed size for a mid-sized master's concept.
