Jumping to conclusions can cause you to waste research time and money. Always take a second look at a document, the statements it makes, and the conclusions you’ve drawn.

  • is it transcribed correctly?
  • is there another way to interpret the document?
  • do I know what all the terms really mean–or did I guess?
