   1. One scale-traversing methodological lesson learned.
   2. What approaches were tried and failed?
   3. What are the most challenging technical & scientific issues for successfully achieving requirements (for success)? 
2. Briefly describe one model use scenario for which requirements for mechanisms that traverse multiple scales (as you are defining them) during execution is a necessary and essential success story prerequisite. 
3. Briefly characterize, from a healthcare perspective, how & why your MSM work is—or is on a path to become—a success story. 
4. If not already addressed, what are your strategies for building credibility for the scenario in (2) and the implementations in (1)?
