- Setting the scene – Provides a succinct description of both the case study situation and the adaptive management/ evidence work that was undertaken
- Well-presented – Describes the case study in a concise, easy-to-understand narrative in both the template description and the web-shareable overview
- Compelling lessons learned – Readily identifies compelling lessons that would be valuable to others. Clearly states how others could apply these lessons.
