Analysis

8. Carefully read the case.

As you read sections in the case, ask, "Is this content relevant to the core scenario?"

Evaluation

9. Compare the relevant information from the case against the criteria you have selected.

Consider the weights of the criteria. Not all criteria may be equal in your evaluation.

10. Use tools, analyses, or frameworks to arrive at a position or conclusion about the major uncertainty.

The best solution to the major uncertainty is the one with the strongest evidence.

Uncertainties

11. Consider assumptions and conditions that may have a substantial impact on your position.

These assumptions and conditions should not prevent you from taking stance on the case, but should bring attention to other possible outcomes.

Action Plan

12. Given your position, what should we do?

First, who is the action plan for? Who is our audience?

What is the final deliverable to our audience?

Write an action plan with short-term and long-term action items.
