Mode
     The tense most prevalent in my draft seems to be present, about twice as much as past and future combined.

Affect of Effect
     The tenses of the verbs within the draft as they are now give the readers a sense of what this past events controversy has had an impact on the present.

Shift it a Little
       The shifts within the QRG for the tenses make sense, because primarily they're shifting between describing the events of three years ago and explaining in the moment the research. I do not think any of the shifts will surprise or throw the readers off.

In The Moment
      I make use of present tense verbs even though this is an older story, it allows the readers to feel like they are watching it unfold not hearing a story of it happening.
