Predicting problems, discovering solutions
The application of an effective evaluative methodology can help in both the prediction of problems and in the discovery of solutions. Much more than merely being a proactive plan distinguished by problem awareness
(observation), problem assessment (interpretation), and corrective remediation (application), the use of an effective evaluative procedure aids in the development of viable solutions. With widespread applications, the Observation/Interpretation/Application (OIA) problem-solving model is utilized by physicians for patient evaluations, scientists for data diagnostic analysis, and hermeneutical scholars for decoding ancient manuscripts.
When used skillfully, this three-step, problem-solving methodology serves as both an invaluable investigative tool and an effective framework to search for systematic solutions. Because of these attributes, the application of this model is useful when applied to roof system evaluations, notably roof inspections and leak investigations.
