Baseline evidence documents the observed state of an existing process and establishes what is factually known, but it does not demonstrate that a proposed intervention will resolve operational issues. In contrast, stakeholder projections or estimates—such as anticipated changes in task duration—are untested assumptions rather than measured impacts. Rigorous decision-making requires leaders to delineate what is verified, isolate what remains uncertain, and utilize testing mechanisms like pilots to empirically validate those assumptions.
