Interpret in the context of the question
Explain what the results mean for the decision or question in CEFS 500, in plain terms. The interpretation is where the analysis points are earned.
Name the limits
State what the analysis cannot tell you: assumptions, data limits, or what would change the answer.
Submit the files the guide asks for
Check which files Canvas expects (spreadsheet, output, written document) and that each is complete and labeled (Not set in the guide; complete the worksheet).
