Find the right place to start

Start with what you know.

You do not need to know the test name. Start with the fluid, the change you noticed or the decision you need to make.

Start with what you see

Start with what is changing.

These routes are starting points, not diagnostic conclusions. The exact fluid, sample point, chronology and operating state determine the final panel.
