State population, region, deadline, budget and existing information; narrow the question first.

Sample readyRequirements, checks and sources
Needs: Provide a decision question, scope and deadline. Check your Muse account, region and connection capabilities. Test scope and remaining conditions are listed above.
- Each question maps to evidence, methods and deliverables.
- Schedule and recruitment fit the budget and deadline.
- Plans, assumptions and existing facts are separate; no research results are fabricated.
Example format: Question | Hypothesis | Evidence needed | Method/sample | Time | Deliverable | Decision criterion
If you get stuck: Narrow a broad goal to one key decision. Without interviews, start with desk research and state which questions remain unanswered.
