Criteria Feedback
- Your investigation is clearly focused on a specific commercial event and stays broadly anchored to that line of enquiry.
- You explain the business context well and show why the acquisition matters strategically for the company.
- You use a generally relevant mix of financial and strategic methods to explore the issue.
- The wording of the research question shifts partway through, which weakens the consistency of the enquiry.
- Some source choices are not justified clearly enough, so the method feels more descriptive than fully selective.
- A few limitations of the evidence base are acknowledged but not explored in enough depth.
