Spanish term or phrase: las casuisticas
Again from a document describing release strategy for purchase requisitions from Spain.

Tal y como se ha tratado de explicar con anterioridad, la particularización de cualquiera de las variables que intervienen en la EL produce un efecto multiplicador inmediato.
Por tanto, para disponer de unas EL “manejables” es imprescindible tratar de reducir al máximo las variables intervinientes así como *** las casuísticas *** para cada una de ellas.
