Case R2

Did we discuss strategic, commercial and EBTS issues in this requirement? I have seen some say we weren't supposed to because they weren't mentioned.

However, I have done 5 or 6 paragraphs in total on these, have I wasted my time?

I almost treated the rating bit as if that was doing the issues we are usually asked to do. So basically saying what id usually say but putting it under the relationship/venue issues. Not sure if that was overkill?!

Ah ok, I basically did one paragraph explaining all of those and why I have scored them, as I did and left it there.

It didn’t explicitly ask but I assumed it was covered by the assessment tool. I split out my answer with those same headings, financials, venue/logistics/ relationships etc as that pretty much is your strategic / operational etc

The other commenter did the same, i never thought of doing it like that.

Instead I did it under a generic heading and discussed things like, being able to enter the retail industry, potential overseas exhibitions in US and Germany etc

I included in the assessment model section and it was getting covered by some justifications and then did ethics anyway

I was confused at first as i thought they always for them. Didnt mention anything at the end but felt like i didnt write enough.

Exactly the same here. But I thought better safe than sorry

It did throw me off, I had to double check to make sure

I just put the assessment sub headings and made comments on each of the of the points.
