    "Anchor preparation concerns to a specific work task so the training owner can investigate its requirements. A perceived gap may arise from missing tools or access.",
    "Connect the proposed skill to the difficult task before selecting learning content. Increased confidence is a desired perception, not proof that the task will improve.",
    "Choose a practice arrangement the learner could actually use, such as supervised rehearsal or a worked exercise. Format preference should be checked against the skill's requirements.",
    "Identify a real application opportunity for the proposed learning, then agree suitable supervision and time. Merely naming a task does not establish permission to perform it.",
    "Separate learning needs from access, equipment, workload or management barriers. Assign those barriers to the responsible owner before treating another course as the solution."
