The presenters provided the following questions for consideration:

Are you aware of similar or planned projects in the Insular Areas that relate to this project?
What are your thoughts on how to demonstrate cultural value?
How or why might you use these numbers?
How or why might partners you work with use these numbers?
What are examples of output that you’d look for these end values to appear in (i.e., story map, video, website, table of $s, etc.)?
