As in Step 3, each type of evidence is evaluated and the analysis and results are documented in a series of worksheets. You cannot use evidence developed using data from elsewhere to eliminate a particular candidate cause; this evidence is used only to compare the strength of evidence associated with each cause. Once the data from elsewhere have been scored, you combine it with the evidence from the case in Step 5, Identify Probable Causes.
