How to read an analysis

  • Decision question

    Identify the trade-off the evidence can genuinely inform.

  • Identifiable scientific source

    Check the publication, authors, year and research design.

  • Scope and limits

    Separate an observed result from its transfer to another context.

  • Strategic consequence

    Use evidence to inform a choice without turning association into prescription.
