Participant questions
Are Thai-language legal texts included?
Primary materials are English where available; we cite Thai notifications with translated summaries for context.
Limitations?
We do not predict future political negotiations; focus stays on reading instruments as published.
Can procurement teams join?
Yes—exercises include translating schedule insights into landed cost assumptions.
