Which term denotes a vague recommendation without specificity?

• A. Non-Deliverable (Vague Recommendation)
• B. Deliverable
• C. Evaluation
• D. Practicality Test

Answer: (A)

In practice, a key distinction is between concrete artifacts you can hand to a client and vague suggestions that need more detail. The term that denotes a vague recommendation without specificity is the non-deliverable labeled as a vague recommendation. The phrase makes explicit that what you have isn’t a concrete deliverable you can act on yet; it’s just a high-level suggestion lacking scope, owners, timing, or measurable criteria. Think of it this way: a true deliverable would be something you can review and implement, like a detailed strategy document with options, impact analyses, and an implementation plan. An evaluation is about judging options, not presenting a practical, actionable suggestion. A practicality test assesses feasibility of ideas. None of these convey that the item is not concrete the way the non-deliverable label does, especially with the explicit note that the recommendation is vague.
