+## Check Your Understanding
+
+For each statement, decide: is it an **efficiency** criterion or an **effectiveness** criterion? Answer in your head first, then unfold.
+
+1. "The report exports to PDF in under 3 seconds."
+>| **Efficiency** — it's about speed of processing (resource use).
+
+2. "A first-time user can find the search bar without instructions."
+>| **Effectiveness** — usability; it's about fitness for the user's purpose.
+
+3. "The app runs the duplicate-check without re-reading the whole database each time."
+>| **Efficiency** — cost of data and file manipulation.
+
+4. "Every field required by the SRS appears on the booking form."
+>| **Effectiveness** — completeness against the requirements.
+
+5. Version A loads in 0.3 s but only 30% of users can book unaided. Which factor is it *failing*?
+>| **Effectiveness** — it's fast (efficient) but most users can't achieve their goal.

## The evaluation matrix — where this matters
In your evaluation matrix, each table uses separate factors:
-**Efficiency factors** (measure resource use):
-- Speed of Processing (time)
-- Cost of Data Manipulation
-- Functionality Implementation (effort/complexity)
-- Hardware Requirements
-- Bandwidth Usage (if applicable)
+**Efficiency factors** (measure resource use) — VCAA names exactly three:
+- Speed of processing
+- Cost of data and file manipulation
+- Functionality
**Effectiveness factors** (measure fitness for purpose):
- Usability, Accessibility, Clarity, Completeness, Accuracy, Relevance, Readability, Attractiveness, Maintainability, Timeliness, Communication of Message
