FICTIONAL WORKED EXAMPLE
A fictional researcher begins with the claim that the CX-7 simply reproduced the concept. The December 2004 preview describes four adults, while the US 2007 deck specifies five passenger places and a split rear seat. The conclusion becomes more precise: the production car followed the concept’s design direction while changing the stated passenger packaging. No shared sports-car engine is inferred from its appearance.

Unresolved question and next action: ________________________
Decision and reason: ________________________________________
Keep the original evidence with its date, market and vehicle applicability. A blank field means unresolved. Separate published specifications, seller statements, your observations and professional findings. Retain personal identifiers and ownership documents privately.
