What to notice in the examples

The most useful problem statements are evidence-oriented and specific: they describe the observable problem without smuggling in an untested solution, then establish scope and consequence.

  • Describe the current state with concrete evidence or observable conditions.
  • Name the affected group, process, system, or outcome.
  • Explain the consequence of leaving the problem unresolved.
  • Keep the proposed solution out of the problem definition unless the assignment explicitly combines them.
