Process for Ring Formation

I have found two simple assessment question to be answered by new Rings:

  • What is the core area, where SomeRing should be able to produce meaningful results independently from other Rings?
  • If SomeRing needs cooperation to with other Rings to work on its tasks, what are the incentives for other Rings to cooperate with SomeRing ?

Is it good enough as assessment question?
Thoughts?
