Criteria Feedback
- The student communicates a clearly defined and relevant investigation into PSR, competitive balance, and market power.
- The student's research question is focused, evaluative, and consistently connected to the discussion.
- The student shows awareness of a suitable mix of sources and an attempt to build a workable analytical plan.
- The topic framing is broader than the actual question, which makes the purpose feel less precise than it could be.
- The method would be stronger if the student explained exactly how each source and variable answers the question.
- Some planned analytical tools are named but not fully operationalised in a way that makes the approach fully reproducible.

Criteria Feedback
- The student uses several relevant sources and datasets to support the discussion, including official rules, club accounts, and transfer-market information.
- The student's understanding of the financial and regulatory context is generally clear and coherent.
- The student uses key economic terminology in a mostly accurate and meaningful way.
- Some evidence is applied too loosely, especially when drawing conclusions about motive or market power from spending patterns alone.
- A few concepts are introduced in a broad way without being fully pinned down to the football market context.
- There are places where the language is more interpretive than evidential, which weakens precision.
