Even if the analysis stage leads to the falsification of the hypothesis, conclude the analysis plan for every hypothesis you have. Once all the plans are made, we can draw conclusions.

Analysis Plan 1

What is the Problem?

This is the starting point of analysis identified in step 1 of your problem solving process.

Hypothesis

A reasonable assumption about the answer to the problem question above.

Analysis

How can we prove the hypothesis above? What tools and methods are most appropriate based on the context and available time/budget?

Sources

What data can we use to analyze the hypothesis thoroughly? This can include both primary and secondary sources.

Milestones

Who is the responsible person for carrying out the solution? What are the sub-steps to be completed for successful project completion?
