|---|---|---|---|
| focus | School focus | string; one of "method", "anticipation", "legacy", "limitation" | Required |
Choose the exact enum value or supported integer in the input table and run the lookup. The tool indexes its embedded table, returns the fields shown below and copies list fields where applicable. All supported selections and their actual returned entries are included below. It performs no network request, project measurement or forecast inference.
| Selection | Returned reference entry |

}Limitations and assumptions
This is a concise teaching reference. Verify original publications, context and applicable editions before relying on it; it is not a complete framework or an authoritative evaluation.

Missing fields without a declared default, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
