Policy Express Sprint Pass 2026/27

Policy topics are easy to read about and hard to organise.

Candidates meet the same three obstacles.

1

Scattered facts

The numbers sit in the Policy Address, the Budget, press releases and Legislative Council papers. Finding them takes longer than learning them.

2

Two languages

You need the English term and the Chinese term, and you need them to match.

3

No shape to the answer

Without a structure, a good fact turns into a long, wandering reply.

The Sprint is built to help with all three.

One framework for every topic

Every brief follows the 1134211 Framework, so you practise one shape of answer across 186 topics.

  1. 1

    Introduction

    The essential facts, figures and latest policy developments.

  2. 1

    Background

    The underlying tension, an overview of the problems and the recommendation, and a clear thesis.

  3. 3

    Problems

    Each problem followed past the headline to its downstream consequence for the system.

  4. 4

    Options and recommendation

    Three plausible options with pros and cons, then one balanced, justified recommendation.

  5. 2

    Challenges

    What gets in the way of the recommendation, and how to deal with it.

  6. 1

    Stakeholders

    Position, justification, friction point, compromise point and power play.

  7. 1

    Conclusion

    Synthesis, one quantitative and one qualitative success metric, and one immediate priority task.

Seven parts. Digits 1-1-3-4-2-1-1.

What two pages look like

  1. 1

    Key figures: the numbers that matter, each marked with its source type.

  2. 2

    Latest developments: a dated table of what changed and what is still open.

  3. 3

    Charts drawn from the figures.

  4. 4

    Three problems, each in three layers: the fact, why it persists, and the consequence for the system.

Page 2 completes the argument: scored options, one recommendation, challenges, stakeholders and the conclusion.

The sample is page 1 only.
