Reading the Response: Reassessment as Routine

The difference between predicted and achieved movement is the most useful data a case produces.

Published 2026-02-20

Every case generates a continuous stream of information about whether the plan's assumptions were correct. Most of it goes unread.

Scheduling reassessment in advance converts adaptation from a rescue into a routine step, and makes the plan's assumptions falsifiable.

Key takeaways

  • Schedule reassessment before treatment starts
  • Record predicted movement so deviation is visible
  • Deviation is information, not failure
