  Insufficient Evidence is a result, not a failure

  Why does a diagnostic that refuses to rate a condition give a better decision than one that estimates a figure?

  What it will cover

  • The six evidence states we record and what each permits a reader to conclude
  • Why a missing figure is never treated as zero, and never coloured Red
  • How an owner can turn Insufficient Evidence into a rated condition in one period

  Draws on

  The Business Doctor method (evidence states, status language) — no client material.

  Symptoms are not diagnoses

  What changes when what a business is experiencing is recorded separately from what is wrong underneath it?

  What it will cover

  • The seven knowledge labels, from observed fact to monitored outcome
  • Why an analyst's reading stays labelled as interpretation until a person approves it
  • How root-cause reasoning is written so a reader can disagree with it

  Draws on

  The Business Doctor method (knowledge labels, diagnosis approval) — no client material.

  Did the action work?

  How does monitoring show whether an agreed action improved the measure it was meant to move?

  What it will cover

  • Baseline, target and actual: the three values every monitored indicator needs
  • Trend language — improving, stable, deteriorating, no baseline, insufficient data
  • When to continue, escalate, refer or close, and who decides

  Draws on

  The Wellness Plan method (cycles, trends, transition review) — no client material.
