Semi-structured Zoom interviews with current and former Core Team members across four pilot districts, analyzed in Dedoose alongside team artifacts. The report states participants "believed their solutions successfully met the intended outcomes" and pointed to specific solution elements addressing their goals. Perceptions are self-reported; no independent outcome measures were reported.

"The data collected from interviews with participants across all pilot districts consistently showed that participants believed their solutions successfully met the intended outcomes."
