ORIGINAL BRIEF — QUIETER EQUIPMENT
A short trial found that the new floor-cleaning machine was quieter, but operators needed more time to prepare it. The trial covered only the small meeting wing. We recommend a longer trial in the large hall before replacing the existing equipment. Lower noise is useful, yet preparation time may offset that benefit on larger jobs.
Why might the lower noise not be a sufficient reason to buy the machine?
- The trial proved that the machine cannot clean any floor
- Operators refused to work in the small meeting wing

ORIGINAL BRIEF — FEEDBACK CARD
More people returned the new feedback card, although most responses came from visitors who stayed for the full event. People who left early were less likely to receive it. The results therefore tell us more about the views of full-session visitors than about every attendee. At the next event, cards should also be available near the exit throughout the day.
Why put feedback cards near the exit throughout the day?
- To replace written feedback with an attendance count
- To give early leavers a better opportunity to respond
- To ensure every response praises the event
- To stop full-session visitors from giving feedback
ORIGINAL BRIEF — WORKSHOP ACCESS
Online registrations increased after the form was simplified. This does not prove that everyone now finds registration easy. People who leave before submitting are absent from the total. We propose examining those abandoned attempts before drawing conclusions about the process’s accessibility.

- The team proposes examining abandoned attempts
- The form is now easy for everyone

ORIGINAL BRIEF — FEEDBACK CARD
More people returned the new feedback card, although most responses came from visitors who stayed for the full event. People who left early were less likely to receive it.

Which limitation does the feedback brief identify?
- The new card prevented people from leaving early
- Every attendee submitted the same response
- Early leavers were less likely to receive a card
- No full-session visitor returned a card

- The opening time of the other event

ORIGINAL BRIEF — SUMMARY LENGTH
The longer summary preserves the project history but hides the decision readers need to make. The shorter version makes that decision clear, yet removes a condition that could change it. A useful revision would keep the shorter structure and restore the missing condition in a separate sentence. Length alone is not the measure of a helpful summary.
What does the final sentence suggest about a helpful summary?
- The shortest possible text is automatically the most helpful
- Project history must always occupy most of the summary
- A decision should be omitted whenever a condition exists
- Its usefulness depends on relevant content as well as length
ORIGINAL EMAIL — SEEDLING TABLE

What action is proposed before another print run?
- Remove all information from the reception counter
- Conclude that size has no importance
- Test a different position for the small poster
- Immediately print only the large posters
ORIGINAL BRIEF — VISIT LENGTH
Shorter visits allowed more groups to attend, but several guides report too little time for questions. We could retain this format for introductory visits and offer a longer session to groups seeking more depth. One format may not meet both needs.
What solution is proposed for the groups’ two needs?
- Offer lengths suited to the visit’s purpose
- Require every introductory visit to be longer
- Remove questions from every format
