Discuss this institutional question ↗

From question
to capability.

  1. Define the decision

  2. Check the fit

    Confirm expertise, data access, ethical requirements, capacity, conflicts and a feasible method.

  3. Agree on the work

    Set deliverables, responsibilities, budget, acceptance criteria and reporting before commitment.

  4. Leave usable capability

    Make methods, evidence and learning usable by the institution. Evaluate the work against the agreed objective.
