Interventionist forms of research require that a problem be reasonably
well understood before moving to address it \citep*{Mertler}. This can be
particularly challenging with complex problems that are multifaceted,
contextually mediated, and boundary spanning \citet{Kezer}. Complexity
increases the difficulty of understanding a problem; and opaque problems
are difficult to resolve. This presents a particular challenge for those
engaged in research initiatives that involve identifying and resolving
problems.
