empirical evidence, information gathered directly or indirectly through observation or experimentation.

a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world.

a statement that describes an observable occurrence in nature that appears to always be true.

a procedure carried out to support or refute a hypothesis, or determine the efficacy or likelihood of something previously untried

a testable, tentative, and reasoned (but unproven) explanation for a problem or observed phenomenon based on partial evidence.

what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment.

the active acquisition of information from a primary source.

a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure.

a collection of factual information used for reasoning, analysis, or calculation.

where scientists represent something in the real world in a way that makes it easier to understand, or make predictions

the practice of systematically applying natural science and mathematics to design and improve systems, devices, or processes that solve problems under constraints.

The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.

a situation where an improvement in the status of one aspect of the environment or of human well-being is necessarily associated with a decline in or loss of a different aspect.

Primary data sourced from internal operations and external suppliers is the most accurate.

provides a method for comparing qualitative options using qualitative means.

risk-benefit analysis

enables organizations to identify potential adverse outcomes and weigh them against the expected benefits of a decision.
