Intro
This is the tidy and bare-bones version of the initial questions framework from the 2012-13 GRAND Assessment Framework . The framework starts with the assumption that the group research project involves practical game design, and continues by asking the most significant over-arching questions.

- What deadlines need to be met?
- What ethical standard does the sponsoring stakeholder expect the project to adhere to?
What are the expectations of the project's internal formal or informal contracts?
- how are contractual obligations decided?
- who can be involved in the project?
- how can work contributed to the project be used?
- what kinds of agreements can be made on behalf of the group?
- how are decisions about using resources made?
