• Lengthy solution (If it cannot be submitted within the available answering time)
• Research-based
• Software-based
This category must be used only if the expert is absolutely sure that the question is
from the assigned subject and complete. If not sure, the SME should use 'Insufficient
Subject Knowledge' category instead. Steps to declining a question under this
category are shown below.
PAGE | 23
3.5.2 Subjective/Opinion/Writing
If a question entails writing an essay or sharing personal opinion on any topic, then it
can be rejected under this category.
