Context
The term will be used to describe items in a list presented together with options / possible solutions (e.g. material: wood, steel or aluminium?).
Example
When designing a piece of furniture, one has to decide on:
- overall shape and structure
- dimensions
- materials
How to accurately describe the items in the bullet points?
Ideas so far
- question
- (decision) point
- factor
- (sub-)problem
- issue
Are there better options?
edit Some more ideas: aspect, facet, detail, component.

Specifics
The specifics of a subject are the details of it that need to be
considered.
Things improved when we got down to the specifics.
Oddly enough, specifics seems less specific than specs or specifications, words which may be interpreted as a spec sheet (a list of details), especially in the construction industry, so I offer specifics instead.

You could perhaps call them 'variables'. It sounds somewhat mathematical, but is (I think) precise, and correctly used in this way.

Your suggestion makes lot of sense to describe the items during the actual decision-making process, specifically when making judgments and considerations. It's not the best fit for the context in which I will be using it, unfortunately.
