These steps must be repeatable in order to dependably predict any future results. It requires that all data and procedures are fully documented in such a way that other scientists are able to reproduce the results by using the same processes. Such an objective process reduces biased interpretation of the results.
We at ADI have put the scientific process into our own five-step problem solving model[1]. The steps are:
1. Pinpoint
2. Measure
3. Feedback
4. Reinforce
5. Evaluate
