In the Application Process Outline, what is the second step?

• A. Check MPR Compliance.
• B. Select a Rating System.
• C. Establish Project Goals.
• D. Define Project Scope.

Answer: (B)

Selecting the rating system is the next essential move because it sets the framework for the entire application. Each rating system has its own prerequisites, credits, and eligible project types, so knowing which system you’re pursuing tells you exactly which requirements will count and what performance targets you’ll aim for. With the rating system chosen, you can tailor the project goals and define the project scope to align with the relevant credits, and you can verify MPR compliance within the context of that system. The other steps depend on knowing the rating system, since their applicability and specifics are defined by which system you’re pursuing.
