READ WITH THE CONTEXT

A useful idea.
With its sources in view.

Keep the observation, interpretation and open question distinct. Historical writing is not evidence of today’s product or results.

01

Observation

Start with what is known.

Look at the source, date and context behind an idea before treating it as a fact.

  • Source
  • Date
  • Context
02

Interpretation

Make the reasoning visible.

An interpretation should explain how the observation informs the argument and where uncertainty remains.

  • Reasoning
  • Assumptions
  • Open questions
03

Application

Ask what is worth exploring.

Use the idea to frame a practical question. An opinion or old example should not become a current claim without evidence.

  • Practical question
  • Evidence needed
  • Current relevance
