French term

cas construit

French to English Art/Literary Linguistics
This from a power point slide for a training session on logic in writing, and seems to be based a lot on Minto's Pyramid Concept.

This slide simply says:

Cas construit: comment mettre de l'ordre dans un texte existant?
Revue de vos textes et reorganisation

The rest of the presentation goes on to explain the situation/complication/question/conclusion structure in writing.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

or even..."topic" or "subject"....(case study requires an actual case to study, which may or may not be your case)

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks to everyone. As Richard says, there really wasn't much to go on in this slide, but Patricia's answer fit in nicely with the rest of the presentation. There is never mention of a "cas pratique" in the presentation (perhaps Richard has confused the Asker of that question with me?), but since they talk about reviewing the participants' own writing, I think this works well. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions."

neutral Richard Benham : I am not sure what is meant here, but "developed" only has one "p"!

[A modest suggestion]

There is very little to go on here. (There often is with slide presentations.) But I am wondering whether "cas construit" is not as opposed to "cas pratique" in your other question. In this case it could be made-up or hypothetical case.
