PROPER FORMAT AND CORRECT ACTION

When doing an Evaluation, one can become far too fixated on outpoints and miss the real reason one is doing an evaluation in the first place. To handle this, it is proper form to write up an Evaluation so as to keep in view the reason one is doing one. 

This is accomplished by using this form 

SITUATION: 
DATA: 
… STATS: 
WHY:
IDEAL SCENE:
HANDLING: 

A proper evaluation is all of a piece. There is consistency throughout.

OBSERVATION in general must be continuous for situations to be noted. A situation is defined as a not expected state of affairs. It is either very good or it is very bad. 

Data is the information one has received that alerts one to the situation. No matter how many reports one may see there is always a question as to their truth. So, one does NOT rely on reports, but an absence of reports, or a volume of reports carefully surveyed for outpoints and counted. Essentially, “data” regarded from the angle of outpoints is a lack of consistency. So the DATA you give is not a lot of reports. It is a brief summary of the “strings pulled” on the outpoint or plus point route to finally get the Why. The Why must be supported by actual investigation.

Situations and DATA trails are supported by Statistics. Where statistics are not in numeral form this may be harder. Where they are outright lies, this is an outpoint itself. One either has a numerical statistic or a direct observation. One can use both. Three or more stats on a scene can be compared to each other and often lead directly to a WHY. DO NOT give a Why or recommend handling without inspecting the actual stats. 

A real WHY must lead to a bettering of the existing scene or (in the case of a wonderful new scene) maintaining it as a new Ideal Scene. Therefore the WHY must be something you can do something about. It is not a prejudice or a good idea. It is where all the analysis led. 

If a bad situation is a departure from the ideal scene and if a good situation is attaining it or exceeding it, then the crux of any evaluation is THE IDEAL SCENE for the area one is evaluating. Viewpoint has a lot to do with the Ideal Scene. By CONSISTENCY the Ideal Scene must be one for that portion of an activity for which one is trying to find the Why. By giving the IDEAL SCENE for every situation, the evaluator is not led into a fatal contempt for the competence of all work actually being done. The Ideal Scene clarifies for one and all whither we are going. 

Handling must be CONSISTENT with the situation, the evaluation, the Why and the Ideal Scene. Handling must be WITHIN THE CAPABILITIES of those who will do the actions.  Handling must be WITHIN THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE. The less are the resources available the brighter must be the idea required to attain effective handling. Handling must be SUPERVISED by one person who acts as a Coordinator of the Program and a checker-offer and de-bug expert. And last but most important handling must be EFFECTIVE AND FINAL. 

The handling is laid out as a PROGRAM made up of sequential TARGETS. It is expected that any complex or extensive target will have a PROJECT written for it by the person to whom it is assigned if not by the originator. When all targets are DONE full Situation handling can be expected. All such Evaluations should be REVIEWED as soon as the actions have had time to take effect. 

IT WILL BE FOUND THAT WHERE YOU HAVE A REAL WHY PEOPLE WILL COOPERATE ALL OVER THE SCENE. 

The keynotes are OBSERVE, EVALUATE, PROGRAM, SUPERVISE and REVIEW. The key to evaluation is handling DATA.

MORE OUTPOINTS

While there could be many many oddities classifiable as outpoints, those selected and named as such are major in importance whereas others are minor. 

.

WRONG SOURCE 

“Wrong Source” is the other side of the coin of wrong target. Information taken from wrong source, orders taken from the wrong source, gifts or materiel taken from wrong source all add up to eventual confusion and possible trouble. 

Not only taking data from wrong source but officialdom from it can therefore be sufficiently aberrated as to result in planetary insanity. In a lesser level, taking a report from a known bad hat and acting upon it is the usual reason for errors made in management.

.

CONTRARY FACTS

When two statements are made on one subject which are contrary to each other, we have “Contrary facts”. Since one of them must be false, and one cannot offhand distinguish which is the false fact, it becomes a special outpoint. 

In interrogation this point is so important that anyone giving two contrary facts becomes a prime suspect for further investigation. “I am a Swiss Citizen” as a statement from someone who has had a German passport found in his baggage would be an example. 

These two outpoints will be found useful in analysis.

Reference: Data Series 18—SUMMARY OF OUT-POINTS

.

SUMMARY OF OUT-POINTS

These are the fundamental out-points required in Data Analysis and Situation Analysis. It is very important that these outpoints correspond to the ideal scene being evaluated, and not to one’s personal ideals. The ideal scene is very specific to the purpose of what is being evaluated. The personal ideals can be very general and subject to fixed ideas.

.

OMITTED DATA

This can be an omitted person, terminal, object, energy, space, time, form, sequence, or even an omitted scene. Anything that can be omitted that should be there is an out-point. This is easily the most overlooked out-point as it isn’t there to directly attract attention. 

In crime it is as bad to omit as it is to commit. Yet no one seems to notice the omissions as actual crimes. In any analysis which fails to discover a WHY one can safely conclude the why is an omission and look for things that should be there and aren’t. 

.

ALTERED SEQUENCE

Sequence means linear (in a line) travel either through space or time or both. Any things, events, object, sizes, in a wrong sequence is an out-point. The number series 3, 7, 1, 2, 4, 6, 5 is an altered sequence, or an incorrect sequence. A cart-before-the-horse out of sequence is an out-point. 

The basic outness is no sequence at all. This leads into FIXED IDEAS. It also shows up in what is called disassociation, an insanity. Things connected to or similar to each other are not seen as consecutive. Such people also jump about subjectwise without relation to an obvious sequence. Disassociation is the extreme case where things that are related are not seen to be and things that have no relation are conceived to have. 

One has to think in sequences to have correct sequences. Persons who do not think in sequence do not see altered sequences in their own actions or areas. 

.

DROPPED TIME

Time that should be noted and isn’t would be an out-point of “dropped time”. It is a special case of an omitted datum. Dropped time has a peculiarly ferocious effect that adds up to utter lunacy. A news bulletin from 1814 and one from 1922 read consecutively without time assigned produces otherwise undetectable madness. 

In madmen the present is the dropped time, leaving them in the haunted past. Just telling a group of madmen to “come up to present time” will produce a few miraculous “cures”. Time aberrations are so strong that dropped time well qualifies as an out-point. 

.

FALSEHOOD

When you hear two facts that are contrary, one is a falsehood or both are. Propaganda and other activities specialize in falsehoods and provoke great disturbance. Willful or unintentional a falsehood is an out-point. It may be a mistake or a calculated or defensive falsehood and it is still an out-point. 

Anything that seeks to be what it isn’t is a falsehood and an out-point. Fiction that does not pretend to be anything else is of course not a falsehood. 

.

ALTERED IMPORTANCE

An importance shifted from its actual relative importance, up or down, is an out-point. A number of things of different importances can be assigned a monotone of importance. That will also be an out-point. All importances are relative to their actuality.

.

WRONG TARGET

Mistaken objective is an out-point. An example would be “removing the slums” to make way for modem shops, which kills the tourist industry.  

Wrong target is commonly mistaken identity. It is also mistaken purposes or goals. Injustice is usually a wrong target out-point. Arrest the drug consumer, award the drug company would be an example. 

A large sum of aberration is based on wrong targets, wrong sources, wrong causes. Incorrectly tell a patient he has ulcers when he hasn’t and he’s hung with an out-point which impedes recovery.
