More guidance and checks

Explain why this evaluation is commissioned now, who will use each main finding and what decisions remain open. Distinguish learning from accountability without treating either as a stock phrase. State scope boundaries and the expected use of results before choosing criteria or methods.

  • Is a specific decision and decision owner identified?
  • Can the proposed deliverables be reviewed before that decision?
  • Are intended users and uses explicit beyond a generic learning statement?
