How to do this drill
- Identify the decision the information supports.
- Group questions by process stage.
- Provide only context needed to locate the case.
Material
You may join a neighbourhood solar-buying cooperative as a renter. You need to know renter eligibility, property-owner permission, site-assessment timing, one-time membership and equipment charges, recurring fees, and whether a waiting list exists if installation cannot occur before your move.
Your tasks
- Create three question groups with headings.
- Write a closing that explains when and why a reply would help.

Answer
Groups: eligibility/permission; assessment/schedule/waiting list; one-time/recurring/refundable costs. Closing gives a reasonable comparison deadline.
How to reach it
- Define the membership decision.
- Sequence questions from eligibility to timing to cost.
- End with a practical next action.
Evidence
Model close: ‘A reply before August 5 would help me compare temporary service options before my move. Please let me know whether you need the owner's contact details to begin.’
Review your attempt
- Can each group be answered together?
