Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen. You have three graded attempts to score 7/10 or better.

Only Submit answer is graded - discussion is free practice.

Problem

Scenario

You're working on a product team that needs to share a new research finding with people who are not technical. The audience may include users, partners, or internal stakeholders, and the result is important enough that misunderstanding it could lead to bad decisions.

Question

How would you explain a complex research result to a non-expert audience?
