Any suggestions?

Selected
without trying to forecast or account for
to me it sounds like they are simply exploring the idea of direct storage/inventory without necessarily taking into account the subsequent management methods

without prejudging (the outcome of.....)
As you say, it is a commonly used expression. It is sometimes translated as "without prejudice", but I don't think that fits the context, and I have seen it translated in official documents as "without prejudging".
