3.3.1.1b - Mission statement appraisal

Critically appraise mission statements.

Use b - mission statement appraisal to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because b - mission statement appraisal determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply b - mission statement appraisal to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: b - Mission statement appraisal is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
