Performance Analysis · Acting on it · Component
The outcome
Whether the change produced what was predicted — which is how analytical judgement improves rather than merely accumulating.
The deliverable
What it is
Predicting an effect and then checking it is the only mechanism by which analytical judgement calibrates. Without it, an analyst accumulates experience without accumulating accuracy.
The difference between predicted and actual is the finding, and it is frequently more instructive than the original analysis.

Predicting an effect and checking it later is the only mechanism by which analytical judgement actually calibrates.
The other components in acting on it
The recommendation
What should be done, by whom, by when — because an analysis ending at a finding leaves the hardest step to whoever reads it.
LearnThe implementation
Whether it was actually done — because the rate at which recommendations are implemented measures the analysis function.
