from pibbss doc What are my project’s key assumptions?
What are my project’s key hypotheses?
What ideas, research directions, or other inputs have influenced my understanding?
What data or outcomes have I observed up to points t1, t2, etc.? Ask: what is a cheap way to test my project before investing too much time/energy?
What is the strongest argument against my project? Ask: what would I think of this project if it wasn’t mine?
