Decision criteria, alternatives and predicted outcomes, and action plans with implementation plans are absent are very poorly constructed Decision criteria, recommendations and predicted outcomes, and action plans were very incomplete, poorly developed, or some were missing Decision criteria, recommendation and prediction and action plans were communicated but not coherent or somewhat incomplete Decision criteria, recommendation and prediction and action plans were communicated in professional manner.  A few weaknesses noted.
