The idea
Foreground questions come in five types: intervention, prognosis or prediction, diagnosis, etiology, and meaning.
In practice
Asking what works; what will happen; which test identifies; what causes; what it means.
Where people slip
The type is chosen from what you need to know, before the question is written — not fitted to the sentence afterwards.
