Hard Questions Rehearsal
Rehearse the hardest questions from a minister, board or regulator, with evidence for every answer.
The job
Replaces the rushed night-before question-and-answer appendix with a rehearsal that predicts the hardest questions, backs every answer with evidence, flags early the questions with no good answer, and scores how often it predicts correctly.
The moment
A team prepares for a minister's questions with a rehearsal deck of flashcards and a timed mock questioning, with every answer backed by evidence.
On the day, the rehearsal had predicted four of the five questions the minister actually asked.
It had flagged the fifth as having "no good answer yet", and had sent the owner the evidence two days before.
In the mock round, the director general had already practised answering it with the evidence in hand.
What it does
- Save the rehearsal
- Send a no-answer question to its owner
- Score the mock round
- Debrief: tick asked questions and grow the bank
- Send the one-page appendix
What you see
Flashcard rehearsal deck with a timed mock questioning round and a hit-rate scoreboard
What it moves
The hit rate (the share of predicted questions that were actually asked) and the share of questions asked that were answered with evidence on the spot.
