2. Establish models required to provide outcome | 2.1 Evaluate applicability of existing tools, models, theories, applications and solutions 2.2 Specify feasible parameters, equations and assumptions 2.3 Establish models required to provide specified outcome |
3. Analyse data | 3.1 Specify steps to be undertaken and computer operating systems and applications to be used to analyse and manipulate data 3.2 Consider restricting factors when selecting techniques for analysis 3.3 Isolate and retrieve data from its source 3.4 Interrogate data to ensure reliability 3.5 Prepare data for presentation media |
