3. Has the presenter provided empirical and theoretical evidence for the intervention?

4. Has the presenter made a strong case for his or her intervention?

5. Does the implementation plan seem well thought-out and appropriate for the population? If the team already implemented the plan, did they adequately describe their thought-process and learning?

6. Do the expected outcomes seem supported by evidence? If the team already tested the intervention, were the outcomes well measured and explained? Do you think this intervention would work with other populations?
