Solution: Specify the solution that we are offering. What part of the problem does it address? What are the benefits and shortcomings of our solution?

Evidence: What evidence do we have that this solution helps resolve the problem? Depending on the domain, evidence may include experimental results, mathematical proofs, or case studies with software.

Related Work: What are the most important other solutions that we should compare to?

To Do: Writing the above will likely make it clear that some part of the necessary evidence is missing. List what has to be done to make the above arguments air-tight.
