  1. I didn't know if you wanted to include when you would complete the research and have a summary at the end.

    Looks very organized and structured.

  2. I like how you carry your project past just analyzing the data and will continue to monitor for increased effectiveness. It made me realize that I should probably add a similar step as well. Great planning!
