	The strategy for testing GRI’s frameworks for evaluating the impact of using assessment techniques on performance is quasi-experimental, using case studies. This approach requires organizational environments where variables and performance criteria can be tracked over time. This is the approach used for testing when building the first framework ~~in Step 1~~. The same approach was used for the general framework of steps 2 and 3.		The strategy for testing GRI’s frameworks for evaluating the impact of using assessment techniques on performance is quasi-experimental, using case studies. This approach requires organizational environments where variables and performance criteria can be tracked over time.

	During phase 1 of the project, two case studies were analyzed in parallel to closely follow the process by which leaders' use of the assessment technique improved the organization's performance. It was possible to contrast the collected data of the two cases. A single case limits generalizations and makes it difficult to prevent certain biases, such as incorrectly judging the representativeness of a single event, or exaggerating the salience of data due to its availability, or biasing ~~the~~ estimates ~~made by an~~ unconscious ~~anchorage~~.

	Several cases increase external validity and help prevent against observational bias. Yin argues that the logic behind the multiple case approach is similar to that guiding multiple experimentation and that each case should be selected so that it (a) predicts similar outcomes (a literal replication), or ( b) produces opposite results but for predictable reasons (a theoretical replication). In the first two case studies, the first literal replication strategy was selected.		Several cases increase external validity and help prevent against observational bias.
