1. Potential Results: If you cant say something interesting from results, Question and Theory not closely linked
2. Feasibility: Possible vs. realistically obtainable data
3. Scale: Consider time and resource constraints
4. Design: Finding a reasonable research design that can answer it
5. Simplicity
