Diagnose the topic-selection flaw

Each scenario is a short excerpt from a real dissertation topic-selection moment. For each one, name which move is broken — the topic is too broad, the gap is not grounded in the literature, the topic is not feasible, the research question is unanswerable, or the method does not fit the question — then pick the revision that actually fixes it. Coaching feedback explains why the plausible-looking wrong answers fall short.
