2. Questions:

1) What's the goal of this research?

I'm struggling to articulate the practical application and significance of this study. What's the essence? What does it contribute? Research about research just to provide research, huh? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Any insights or directions you can guide me towards?  Any keywords to emphasize or add?
