Do transcripts replace narrative evidence?

No. They verify academic background, but the application still needs to explain how that background supports the project.

What is a common mistake?

A common mistake is treating the term as a label instead of connecting it to verified requirements, applicant evidence, and the specific Fulbright award context.
