Working in the D.C. area has given me a high tolerance for acronyms and backronyms (seriously: P.R.O.T.E.C.T. Act stands for "Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to end the Exploitation of Children Today"). U.N.P.H.A.T does raise a smile to my face for trying, but if the author is reading, I'd suggest you change it to a prescriptive paragraph where the first word in each sentence becomes a letter in the acronym (e.g. B.A.M.C.I.S). ==== Here's my best try: UNPHAT: Understand the problem. Nominate multiple solutions. Prepare by reading relevant research papers. Heed the historical context. Appraise advantages versus disadvantages. Think!
