Facts, inferences, unknowns
What is recorded, what is an interpretation, and what is still missing? Give each piece of information its place.
Read the noteRead. Write. Reconsider.
A news item, a conversation, a decision you keep putting off. Separate what you know from what you suspect—and what you still need to find out.
LESS NOISE. MORE UNDERSTANDING.
Give the question, its grounds, and its conclusion their own place.
Distinguish facts, inferences, and what remains unknown.
Let new information change your understanding.
Notes
Separate records from interpretations, add the missing context, and leave room to revise a conclusion.

Read the noteThe same sentence can mean something different when its time, scope, and point of comparison change.

Read the noteOur approach
Lower attendance is a record. Lower interest is an explanation. What information connects the two?
A checkable record
“Fewer people signed in than last time.”
Check the source, time and scope before interpreting the record.
One possible explanation
“People may be less willing to participate.”
Attendance alone does not establish a cause. What other explanation fits?
A question still open
“Did the time or counting method change?”
Keep missing information beside the conclusion, not out of sight.

Topics
Separate a record from a story about that record. Ask questions that can be investigated.
Trace sources, compare like with like, and make the limits of an account visible.
State a provisional view, keep its grounds, and notice when conditions change.
