The main prerequisite knowledge nodes derived from the initial study question form the primary knowledge areas of the map.
The knowledge structure in this case represents an area of knowledge and all of its prerequisite knowledge. That is the knowledge a human expert would know if they knew the knowledge in question. The primary knowledge areas of a Knowledge Structure Map are those derived directly from the question which qualifies the map.

The smallest knowledge sub structure is Service Evaluation and it also has the highest average knowledge risk. The largest knowledge sub structure is Customer Services.
The following knowledge elements provide the most support for other knowledge items.
Knowledge Item | Nodes Supported |
% of Map Supported |
products Supplied | 16 |
