+ Was easy to implement.
+ Looks natural form small technologies with multiple splits.
- Large technologies which are mostly sequential look bad in this scheme.
For example:
1
1.1
1.1.1
1.1.1.1
1.1.1.1.1
...
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
New concept
Add letter on split. Increment on sequence.

+ numbers for sequential operations are much shorter
+ numbers for sequential technologies are more intuitive
- harder to implement
- adding a operation in the middle of the tree can change half of its numbering
- numbers for technologies with many splits are less intuitive
Sequential technology example:
1
2
3
4
5
...
20
Generation rules
If the last number n of the parent operation was previous_numbers.1:
- and it has only one child operation, then the child operations number will be previous_numbers.2
- and it has multiple child operations, then the numbers of the child operations will be: previous_number.1.A.1, previous_number.1.B.1, previous_number.1.C.1, ...
