Luis Méndez: Policy analyst
He asks what a proposed solution says the problem is.
In the room
The room proposal says fewer hours will solve overcrowding. Luis asks whether the proposal addresses demand, staffing or who is using the room.
The idea they bring
The way a problem is described influences which solutions seem available. Question your own description too.
Try it with the crew
Write two different problem descriptions and compare the solutions each invites.
Keep the limits in view
An alternative framing still needs evidence about likely effects and tradeoffs.
