Questions
Support and Next Steps
Choose a scenario where the framework helps explain what is happening, what decisions matter, or what tradeoffs need to be considered.
Use course materials unless your instructor asks for additional sources. If you include outside information, cite it according to course expectations.
Review each required element against the rubric. Trim sections that repeat ideas and expand sections that are underdeveloped. Quality matters more than meeting the exact word count.
