Evaluate implementation by checking data quality and the design

Evaluate a practical implementation by asking whether the readings are enough, comparable and precise enough to answer the question. Comment on range, repeats, significant figures, anomalies and the method that produced the data.

Look for inconsistent readings or an anomalous graph point, check whether the range spans the expected response, and suggest a change that addresses the identified limitation rather than merely adding detail.

If one replicate in a clear-zone experiment is much larger than the others, inspect contamination, disc placement and measurement before discarding it. A wider range or more repeats may reveal whether the apparent trend is robust.

An anomalous point is not automatically an error and more readings do not fix a biased method. State the evidence for exclusion or improvement.
