	Towards the end of 387YE, the Prognosticator's Office began to encounter problems responding to Senate requests. Partly this was a result of the sabbatical of Eilian Sweetwater (and his subsequent disappearance while exploring a lighthouse in [[Redoubt]] during what turned out to be a surprise [[Grendel]] invasion) and commissions taking longer than anticipated. Gerard La Salle requested support from the Senate to [[Forever_is_composed_of_nows#The_La_Salle_Stratagem\|recruit additional staff]] for the Office, not only to increase the ability to perform appraisals but also to increase the pool of talents available. The Senate [[387YE_Winter_Solstice_Senate_sessions#Hire_Prognosticators\|approved the required funds]] allowing the Office to permanently recruit [[#Lisane de Terresford\|Lisane de Terresford]], [[#Rosemary Stockland\|Rosemary Stockland]], and [[#Vainakoma Dawnstongue\|Vainakoma Dawnstongue]].

	If the Senate instructs Graciana to carry out an appraisal then the work will be focused on seeking novel or unusual solutions to the problem. But work by Graciana will usually produce ways to tackle a problem that are as innovative as they are unorthodox. Such options are ''never'' cheap, tried and tested techniques are invariably cheaper than new ideas because of the accrued expertise that supports them, but the costs will take a completely different form to the normal channels.

	As of the Winter Solstice 384YE, there are four senior researchers in the department. Each is a veteran civil servant and respected scholar with a particular emphasis. The Senate may choose which civil servant will be the lead on the appraisal by including the name of the researcher in the Senate motion (along with the name of a backup researcher if the first is already employed elsewhere, if desired). Everyone from the department will work on the appraisal, but the character of the lead civil servant appointed will help to shape the nature of the opportunities. If no individual is directed to lead the research, Gerard La Salle will select whichever researcher he considers most appropriate to do the work. In the event that two appraisals both call for the same civil servant, the first raised and passed will take priority. If the second motion does not also propose an alternative researcher, Gerard La Salle will pick.		As of the Winter Solstice 384YE, there are four senior researchers in the department.

	Towards the end of 387YE, the Prognosticator's Office began to encounter problems responding to Senate requests. Partly this was a result of the sabbatical of Eilian Sweetwater (and his subsequent disappearance while exploring a lighthouse in [[Redoubt]] during what turned out to be a surprise [[Grendel]] invasion) and commissions taking longer than anticipated. Gerard La Salle requested support from the Senate to [[Forever_is_composed_of_nows#The_La_Salle_Stratagem\|recruit additional staff]] for the Office, not only to increase the ability to perform appraisals but also to increase the pool of talents available. The Senate approved monies allowing the Office to permanently recruit [[#Lisane de Terresford\|Lisane de Terresford]], [[#Rosemary Stockland\|Rosemary Stockland]], and [[#Vainakoma Dawnstongue\|Vainakoma Dawnstongue]].

	If the Senate instructs Graciana to carry out an appraisal then the work will be focused on seeking novel or unusual solutions to the problem. But work by Graciana will usually produce ways to tackle a problem that are as innovative as they are unorthodox. Such options are ''never'' cheap, tried and tested techniques are invariably cheaper than new ideas because of the accrued expertise that supports them, but the costs will take a completely different form to the normal channels.

	If the Senate instructs Naomi to carry out an appraisal then the work will be focused on finding the most diplomatic possible solution. Naomi is adroit at identifying options that are best placed to satisfy the concerns of the people affected. The risk of such an approach is that it concentrates on the best possible solution to a problem rather than the cheapest or the most efficient.
