Clusters

01

Filter to your event first

Pick your cluster from the tab bar. Every event draws from BA Core plus its cluster-specific PIs, don't study all 2,000.

02

Open a PI, read the verb

The verb tells judges exactly how deep your answer needs to go. Identify = name it. Explain = cause and effect. Recommend = justify a specific course of action.

03

Use the judge tip in your roleplay

Each expanded PI has a judge note. That's the line that converts partial credit to full marks. Build your recommendation around it.

04

Lead with PIs, not after

Don't name a PI at the end as an afterthought. Open each recommendation with the PI, apply it to the scenario, then support it with data or evidence.

The 8 PI Verb Levels

what judges expect.
