04 / EXTENDED ESSAY

Built as a connected
learning system.

01

Topic viability

Test whether the idea is genuinely computational, researchable and narrow enough for a sustained investigation.

SCOPE
02

Research question

Move from a broad interest to a focused, evaluative question with defined variables and boundaries.

QUESTION
03

Method and evidence

Select experiments, implementations, datasets or comparative methods that can support a defensible conclusion.

METHOD
04

Analysis and reflection

Interpret evidence, acknowledge limitations and show how the inquiry evolved through reflection.

ARGUMENT

NEXT OPTIMAL ACTION

Validate the research question early.
