Mel's feedback

This looks GREAT. A couple questions to drive in more detail:

  • What things are you trying to measure? How?
    • Quantitatively?
    • Qualitatively?
    • Things that can't be consistently or easily resolved or measured? (Stories, anecdotal data, general feelings of happy well-being?)
  • What makes a repair model "successful?"
    • Number of laptops fixed?
    • Turnaround time?
    • Number of people involved?
    • The repairers learning new skills?
    • Connections and relationships that form around the fixing of a laptop?
  • Who's gathering the data?
    • Are they the same people repairing laptops?
    • Will they have time?
    • Will they be biased? (For that matter - how do you know you're getting a good sample?)
    • How about the people analyzing the data?

It might be nice to look up some studies of the effects of educational technology and see how they've structured theirs, depending on how formal/informal you want to make the study.
