Questions this course answers

Put questionnaire review into a defensible sequence.
The sequence moves from purpose and scope to precise collection, protected review, corroboration, and controlled action.
Match each questionnaire answer to the strongest follow-up proof.
Evidence is strongest when it observes the claimed behavior and states its coverage and limits.

What makes a questionnaire result defensible?
A defensible result is reproducible, challengeable, and connected to controlled follow-up.
