Very clear sense of what problem is addressed, and not addressed: include info from design brief + new info gathered (client expects researches, detailed requirements criteria. Objectives what should it be? (adjectives, characteristics) (vague, no solution provided, no means statement) A way of differentiating between better & worse designs.
