Each of these steps is non-trivial, requiring a deep understanding of the powers and authorities of the relevant agency, the context in which it operates, the content and footprint of high priority questions, and the data sources from which meaningful metrics can be developed. Though the implications or recommendations section of a law review article or report often get the least amount of space, designing and proposing a pilot often requires novel contributions that support not a fixed policy "product," but a dynamic policy "process" for testing and refining a policy idea before it is fully [*2350] implemented. A broader recognition of the importance and originality of this "translational work" - by law review and other editors - would shift the focus of academic writing from "admiring the problem" 215to "solving the problem."
