- Evaluation - Don’t have to do it yourself i.e fly on the wall , approach evaluation creatively, secrets of certain thing makes it exciting, public evaluation can give untruthful responses, mix of public and private, not yes or no, colour coordinating, record conversations without them knowing, question booth - analysis it would be less direct
