VetsLearn — Research & write — 01: Turn a broad question into a research brief
Revision 2026-10-03; fictional training fixture.

OUTCOME
Define an answerable question and the evidence required to answer it.

INDEPENDENT TASK
Independent brief B: A fictional museum is considering Saturday tours. Nine visitors requested tours; 120 visited during the sampled week. Staff availability and the collection method are unknown. Write a research brief, not a recommendation.

STEPS
1. Name the decision, audience, scope and output.
2. List three evidence gaps and how each could change the decision.
3. Write a bounded AI request with explicit unknown handling and a stopping rule.

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
- Do not treat 9/120 as a representative preference estimate.
- Separate demand, staffing and feasibility questions.
- Specify how sources and unsupported claims will be recorded.

EXPLAIN YOUR APPROACH
Which missing fact would change your next research step most, and why?

Keep your artifact, corrections, evidence and limitations yourself.
Self-review is not independent assessment. No paid model calls are required.
