How does anybody figure out where "so far as is reasonably practical"
is?
  This is a very expensive and time consuming process.

Industry norms is something that might be more reasonable
(i.e., cheaply) measured.

I say might be measured, because a lot of the time it is not
measured.  It is more a case of people doing what they did last time.
