If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate. Which criteria are unclear? What evidence would help your application? What feedback did you need afterward? Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable: 1. Unclear criteria identify which advancement standards need a concrete explanation or approved example. Feedback about clarity does not establish an applicant's eligibility. 2. Needed evidence reveals uncertainty about how the stated advancement criteria connect to a submission. Offer approved evidence examples, without ranking the respondent or implying that supplying an example establishes promotion eligibility. 3. The feedback needed afterward identifies an explanation missing from the decision communication. Connect approved feedback to the criteria without promising a different outcome.
