Reading note

Turn a broad headline into a question that could be answered by a defined measurement. Identify the endpoint, its units and the rule used to interpret a change. If a hypothetical report measures one feature but its headline promises a broader improvement, locate the reasoning connecting those ideas. A measurement can be relevant without answering every nearby question. Comparing the endpoint with the stated conclusion helps you distinguish what was directly evaluated from what a reader might reasonably want to know next.
