Observation, Interpretation, Application

Observation, Interpretation, Application. These three steps are involved in every action we take.

Observation is what you see. Interpretation is the meaning or value we attach to what we see. Application is how we use the interpretation to take action.

If your observations are wrong, there may be negative or unexpected impact of the resulting actions. Same goes if the interpretation is wrong or faulty.

Seeing is the first and most important step. Everything else follows from there. Assumptions color interpretations. Unseen assumptions limit the interpretations from the observations. Unseen assumptions can also trigger a bypass of interpretation altogether.
